The Digest:
The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, has launched an investigation into veteran Fuji musician Wasiu Ayinde, aka KWAM1, following allegations of unruly conduct at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja. This follows a petition from the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA).
Key Points:
- KWAM1 was involved in an altercation aboard a ValueJet flight on August 5, 2025.
- He was accused of drinking from a flask suspected of containing alcohol, which is prohibited on flights.
- When asked by the flight crew to surrender the flask, KWAM1 claimed it was prescribed medication.
- His refusal to cooperate led to his deboarding from the aircraft.
- KWAM1 then attempted to prevent the plane from taking off, escalating the situation.
- The NCAA filed an official petition, prompting the IGP to initiate a police investigation.
- The IGP assured the public of a thorough investigation and the enforcement of aviation laws.
This incident underscores the ongoing need for stringent enforcement of aviation regulations. The investigation aims to clarify the circumstances and uphold the integrity of Nigeria’s aviation sector.
