The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has launched a probe into an incident involving popular Fuji musician Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, also known as K1 De Ultimate, at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja.
The situation reportedly unfolded on Tuesday during boarding for a ValueJet flight headed to Lagos.

FAAN spokesperson, Obiageli Orah, revealed in a statement that the artist defied aviation protocols by attempting to board with a liquid substance.
*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.
It was later discovered that the container in question was a flask filled with alcohol, which breaches airport safety regulations.
According to FAAN, the musician was informed of the rules but failed to adhere.
“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.”
Tension reportedly escalated when the musician moved toward the front of the aircraft and declined to leave the area until security personnel intervened.
FAAN emphasized that safety and compliance would not be compromised, regardless of status or fame.
“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.”
In connection with the case, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has reportedly grounded two pilots from ValueJet for violating standard aviation safety procedures.
