    The Nigeria Police Force has begun investigating Fuji musician Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, popularly known as KWAM 1, over his alleged unruly behaviour that obstructed the safe operation of an aircraft at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.

    The Force Public Relations Officer, DCP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, in a statement on Tuesday, stated that the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) had formally petitioned the police over the incident, which occurred on August 5, 2025, in violation of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Regulations, 2023.

    Following the petition, Adejobi said the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, directed the Commissioner of Police, Airport Command, to conduct a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident.

    “The Nigeria Police Force has received an official petition from the NCAA over an alleged incident involving Mr Wasiu Ayinde Marshal (popularly known as KWAM 1). He is accused of engaging in unruly conduct that allegedly obstructed the safe operation of an aircraft, in violation of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Regulations, 2023, following a reported incident on 5 August 2025 at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.

    “In response, the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, has directed the Commissioner of Police, Airport Command, to immediately commence a thorough investigation into the matter, to unravel the circumstances which led to the ugly incident and ensure justice is served accordingly,” the statement partly read.

    Adejobi added that the police remain committed to upholding safety and security in Nigeria’s aviation sector and will continue to work with stakeholders to ensure compliance with aviation laws.

    “The Force hereby assures the public of its commitment to upholding safety and security within Nigeria’s aviation sector, while assuring stakeholders in the sector of improved collaboration towards aviation security and strict compliance with aviation laws,” the statement stated.

    Chronicle NG reported that on August 5, 2025, KWAM 1 was involved in an altercation at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, while attempting to board a ValueJet flight to Lagos.

    The dispute began when he brought a flask onboard that aviation staff thought contained alcohol, a forbidden material on domestic flights in Nigeria.

    When personnel requested that he return the flask, KWAM 1 refused. He then apparently sought to prevent the aircraft from taxiing, exacerbating the situation.

    In response to the incident, the NCAA suspended the captain, Oluranti Ogoyi, and her first officer, Ivan Iloba, while KWAM 1 was placed on a no-fly list for all Nigerian carriers for six months pending an inquiry.

    KWAM 1 later apologised, stating that he never intended to breach aviation protocols or cause difficulty.

    However, requests for KWAM 1’s inquiry and prosecution grew after Comfort Emmanson, an Ibom Air passenger, was held in Kirikiri Correctional Centre for allegedly attacking flight crew and security personnel on a Uyo-Lagos aircraft.
