The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), has stated that the Inspector General of Police and the Attorney General of the Federation will decide the fate of veteran Fuji singer, Wasiu Ayinde, popularly known as K1 de Ultimate or KWAM1, following his controversial face-off with officials of the ValueJet Airline at the local wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, on Tuesday, August 5, 2025.
Naijaonpoint reports that an airport altercation, captured in a video that went viral on Wednesday, involved KWAM1 attempting to obstruct the plane’s takeoff.
The incident drew widespread public backlash, with the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, and the NCAA slamming a six-month flying ban on KWAM1.
The pilots involved in the incident were also suspended and placed under investigation.
The NCAA also, on Thursday, said it had written a petition to the Attorney General of the Federation and the Inspector General of Police, demanding KWAM1’s probe and prosecution.
The musician, however, in a video circulated online on Friday, apologised for his actions, stressing it was not his intention to cause any disruption or violate aviation protocols in any way.
The NCAA spokesman, Michael Achimugu, in an interview with Punch, said he has not seen KWAM1’s apology.
When asked for the NCAA’s next line of action, Achimugu stated that the NCAA lacks the authority to prosecute the matter, adding that, “We have referred the case to the Inspector General of Police and the Attorney General of the Federation, who are better positioned to determine and communicate the next steps.”
Also reacting to KWAM1’s public apology, the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Keyamo, said they have not had the opportunity to deliberate on the issue.
He said, “We have just seen this (apology) on social media like everyone else. We have not had the opportunity to deliberate on it.”
