The Force Public Relations Officer, DCP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, in a statement on Tuesday, said the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority 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, he 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 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. He 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. 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 carried a flask onboard, which aviation staff suspected contained alcohol, a prohibited substance on domestic flights in Nigeria. When staff requested that he surrender the flask, KWAM 1 refused. He then reportedly moved to block the aircraft from taxiing, escalating the confrontation. In reaction to the incident, the NCAA suspended the licences of the captain, Oluranti Ogoyi, and her first officer, Ivan Iloba, while KWAM 1 was placed on a no-fly list across all Nigerian carriers for six months pending investigation. KWAM 1 later apologised, saying that it was never his intention to violate aviation protocols or cause inconvenience. However, calls for KWAM 1’s investigation and prosecution became rife after an Ibom Air passenger, Comfort Emmanson, was remanded in Kirikiri Correctional Centre for allegedly assaulting flight crew and security personnel during an Uyo–Lagos flight. https://punchng.com/ig-orders-kwam-1s-probe-over-unruly-conduct-at-abuja-airport/?fbclid=IwY2xjawMIgFFleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHi216xKwBGW2Fs1HjfKkvgfVkgVpIb4tQ9IhFDZqNkqLp81nAV8PrbND5JVX_aem_BvJqy5_IQxcdpJqaJPY33A (Share⤴) Re: IG Orders KWAM 1’s Probe Over Unruly Conduct At Abuja Airport by givedemwotowoto: 9:24pm They’re still ordering a probe on a possible attempted plane hijack while the other lady was already in Kirikiri within 24 hours on assault charges and a life ban? DSS should even be questioning K1 to understand his motives that day, whether he was high and decided he was going to take over the pilot’s job or something. You never know unless you question him 1 Like 1 Share (Share⤴)
