 Kwam 1 didn’t breach aviation rules – Daughter


Daughter of Fuji music maestro Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, known as K1 De Ultimate, Basirat Marshal, has responded to heated allegations that her father breached aviation regulations and disrupted airline operations.

Damilola, who serves as the Senior Special Assistant on Tourism to Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, accused the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria and the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority of falsely claiming that K1 was carrying alcohol, asserting it was just water in his usual flask.

FAAN on Wednesday had accused the 68-year-old Mayegun of Yorubaland of committing the offence while boarding a ValueJet Airlines morning flight (Flight VK 201) bound for Lagos.

According to a statement by its spokesperson, Obiageli Orah, FAAN alleged that Kwam 1 brought an alcoholic beverage aboard the commercial flight in contravention of aviation rules.

Consequently, on Thursday NCAA blacklisted the musician for six months, while the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, maintained that Kwam 1 must be punished.

Keyamo described the musician’s conduct as “unacceptable” and warned that such behaviour could have led to a tragic outcome.

However, reacting to the development, Damilola, in a post on her Instagram page on Thursday, accused FAAN and the NCAA of making false claims.

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.”

Kwam 1, through a statement issued by his spokesperson, Kunle Rasheed, clarified that the flask contained only water, not alcohol, contrary to the flight attendant’s claim.

He dismissed the allegations as exaggerated and misleading, noting that he was, in fact, the victim in the incident, a narrative at odds with accounts provided by FAAN and those circulating the rumour.

According to him, FAAN, NCAA, and the airline’s chairman and managing director subsequently issued an apology after realising their error.

He said they also arranged a private jet to convey him to Lagos.

However, the musician disclosed that he declined the offer despite persistent pleas from the airline’s top executives.

The incident led the NCAA to suspend two ValueJet pilots, Captain Oluranti Ogoyi and First Officer Ivan Oloba.
