Wasiu Ayinde Narrowly Escapes Being Crushed By Value jet Plane After Spilling Alcohol On Aviation Workers

And how KWAM 1, Wasiu Ayinde Was Bounced Off ValueJet for Refusing to Stop Drinking Alcohol, Obstructing Flight

There is growing public outcry following the suspension of two ValueJet pilots by the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) after a dramatic incident involving Fuji music legend, Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, popularly known as Kwam1 or K1 De Ultimate.

Yesterday August 5, Kwam1 was onboard a ValueJet flight when he was spotted drinking from a flask. A flight attendant approached him, suspecting that the flask contained alcohol, a substance prohibited onboard aircraft in Nigeria.

Despite being asked to surrender the flask, Kwam1 refused, insisting that it contained doctor-prescribed medication. His refusal led the flight crew to deboard the veteran musician from the aircraft.

“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,” FAAN said in the statement by its spokesperson, Obiageli Orah.

Shortly after being removed, Kwam1 made his way to the front of the aircraft in an attempt to prevent the plane from taking off. 

Video shows KWAM 1 standing on the tarmac, engaging with ground personnel, before he and others were seen dodging the aircraft’s wing as the plane forcefully took off, in violation of aviation safety regulations.

Today, August 6, the NCAA announced the suspension of the two ValueJet pilots involved, citing lapses in judgment and breaches of standard aviation safety procedures. The agency emphasized that allowing takeoff during an active obstruction was reckless and unacceptable.

The incident has sparked widespread debate and criticism, with many Nigerians questioning the professionalism of both the airline crew and the conduct of the celebrity musician.

Industry experts have also raised concerns about how such high-profile disruptions are managed, especially when they involve potential threats to passenger and ground crew safety.
