Habit Ought To Be Beneath Law

The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has petitioned the Attorney-General of the Federation and the Inspector-General of Police to investigate and prosecute Fuji musician King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, popularly known as K1 De Ultimate (Kwam 1), for allegedly obstructing a ValueJet aircraft at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja. According to JAWASI report and video footage, the musician stood in front of the aircraft and blocked its movement, preventing it from taxiing. The NCAA said such conduct endangered passenger safety and disrupted normal airport operations. In response, the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, directed the NCAA to immediately place K1 De Ultimate on a no-fly list, pending the outcome of an investigation. The incident occurred on Tuesday, August 5, 2025, during boarding for ValueJet Flight VK201 to Lagos. According to the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), the confrontation began when K1 attempted to board with a flask containing more than the permitted 100ml of liquid, in violation of aviation security regulations. Despite warnings from Aviation Security (AVSEC) officers and the flight captain, the musician allegedly refused to comply and poured the contents—later confirmed to be alcohol—on one of the security officials.
