The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) is investigating an airport incident involving Fuji musician Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, aka Kwam 1.
The airport managers said the musician spilled alcohol on an airport officer during boarding at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, on Tuesday, August 5th.
The Lagos-bound flight, according to a statement by FAAN spokesperson Obiageli Orah, was scheduled to be operated by ValueJet Airlines.
“During boarding, the passenger attempted to carry an unidentified liquid substance on board despite repeated warnings from Aviation Security personnel and the Flight Captain,” FAAN stated.

The Authority said the musician tried to board the plane with a flask containing liquid later identified as alcohol in violation of aviation laws.
“The passenger was informed of this regulation but reportedly declined to comply. As boarding continued, an airline security officer asked the passenger to step aside for further clarification. The passenger allegedly refused and spilled the contents of the flask on the officer, which turned out to be alcohol. The Flight Captain intervened but faced similar resistance.”

The atmosphere reportedly became charged when the singer allegedly moved to the front of the aircraft and refused to vacate the area till security officers took him away.
“The Authority will not tolerate any actions that compromise operational integrity or undermine aviation safety standards, regardless of the individuals involved.
“This matter is under thorough investigation, and all parties found culpable will be held accountable according to the law.”
Meanwhile, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has suspended two ValueJet pilots connected to the incident which was described as a serious breach of safety protocols.
In April, Wasiu Ayinde aka Kwam 1, has opened up about his religion, stating that he is a member of the Celestial church of God, and even built a parish.
The Ade Ori Okin singer revealed this during his recent interview on the Agbaletu Radiovision podcast, stressing that religion saved him during tough times
Yes, I attend Celestial Church; I am a bona fide member of Celestial Church, a proud one. In fact, I even built a church. In times of trouble, I sought religion and I also sought the face of God in two different ways. There is no place I did not search for the face of God.
