Daughter of veteran Fuji musician, Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, better known as KWAM1 or K1 De Ultimate, Basirat Damilola Marshal, has accused the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) and the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) of making false claims against her father.
Naija News reports that Basirat, who serves as the Senior Special Assistant on Tourism to Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, in a post via her Instagram page on Thursday, responded to heated allegations that her father breached aviation regulations and disrupted airline operations.
Damilola questioned why FAAN would lie that KWAM1 was carrying alcohol, asserting it was just water in his usual flask.
She said, “I don’t know why a reputable agency would lie that water is alcohol, I don’t know when K1 became a magician who turns water into alcohol.
“With the same flask, all of a sudden, everyone is pretending as if they don’t know he carries his water in his flask everywhere.”
Naija News recalls that on August 5, the NCAA suspended two ValueJet pilots over a safety breach that occurred at the same airport terminal.
The preliminary findings revealed that the pilots initiated departure procedures without obtaining the mandatory pre-departure clearance, a violation that posed serious risks to ground personnel and other airport users.
The breach reportedly followed a commotion onboard the flight, allegedly caused by Kwam 1’s conduct.
The Fuji icon was seen drinking from a flask aboard the aircraft. A flight attendant intervened, suspecting the liquid was alcohol, a banned substance on Nigerian flights.
In its official statement, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) said Kwam 1 attempted to board the aircraft with an unidentified liquid despite repeated warnings from Aviation Security (AVSEC) and the flight captain.
Consequently, on Thursday, the NCAA blacklisted the musician for six months, while the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, maintained that Kwam1 must be punished.
Keyamo described the musician’s conduct as unacceptable and warned that such behaviour could have led to a tragic outcome.
