If this guy is not careful, he will not be able to fly internationally any more for a very long time.

What he did is very serious.

Validated:
Keyamo has gone into hiding. If it was Obi supporter the whole security apparatus would have been activated. If the Aviation and Justice ministries want to sweep this under the rug, even the rug will refuse. The ICAA is watching and waiting on corrupt Tinubu government.

Several binding Nigerian laws give full legal backing for the arrest, detention, and prosecution of King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal (KWAM1):


1. Nigerian Civil Aviation Regulations (Nig. CARs), 2015

Violation is a strict liability offence — intent is irrelevant.
• Part 17, Section 17.29(4) –
“Any person who interferes with the operation of an aircraft so as to endanger the safety of the aircraft, persons or property commits an offence.”


2. Civil Aviation Act, 2022

• By-Law 3(1)(a) –
Any person who disobeys lawful instructions from an airport official or security agent is guilty of an offence.
• Penalty: Fine or imprisonment, and removal from premises.

We have video evidence, KWAM1 should be arrested with immediate effect and arraigned. A slap on the wrist of dont fly for 6 months is not the right thing to do. He should also be made to undergo a psychiatric evaluation for mental competency

flokii:
Chinedu rest..
Kwam 1 is not the reason for the slow development of your South East region.. hold your leaders and Governors accountable.

malali:
I am not even Chinedu...to your surprise.
Even if i was Ijebu...KWAM1 needs to be arrested. He endangered the lives of innocent citizens in that aircraft.
This ethnic nonsense you are holding unto will not save you.
KWAM1 should be arrested. We should do the right thing before world aviation authorities drop our safety ratings.

arantess:
You can imagine the weight of the matter.

And people are clapping for keyamo banning him for 6 months audio ban .

He should have tried that rubbish with Arab pilot, na him flesh for dey ground.

nigeria is not a serious country at all

flokii:
Ok Emeka, biko no vex..
We all make mistakes, I'm sure Kwam 1 knows better now.

HacheNoire:
Brilliantly composed!

He should be arrested and made to face the law. His conduct has undermined Nigeria’s airport safety and law enforcement.

Who does that!

If the license of the pilot can b suspended which demanded, then KWAM1 should be in jail pending trial.

malali:
I am not Ibo, you don't get my point. He has made a mistake, he needs to be charged to court.
If Tinubu wants to give him presidential pardon...He can do that after he has being arraigned and tried by a competent court.
Nigeria is not a play thing. If you had been sitting in that aircraft when KWAM1 was preventing it from taking off...your life would have been at risk.
This is an opportunity to correct "Do you know who i am syndrome". KWAM1 has to be arrested

flokii:
On a more serious note now.. that he went a little bit out of the line doesn't mean you should start asking for his incarceration.
Though I don't know for sure what transpired inside the Value jet aircraft that led to the altercation, I think we should take things slow till we get a clearer picture of the whole incident.

True, the NCAA guidelines don't allow liquid and some other items considered as potential risk to air travellers, it doesn't mean those items can't find their way in (depending on who is carrying them). Guns for instance are usually concealed carefully for Air Marshals to protect air travellers incase the need for weapon arises mid-air. Doesn't mean just anybody can carry weapon into the aircraft.

Another point is that airlines flout the NCAA rules like every now and then with flight delays, flight cancellations etc., yet they don't pay huge damages and fines as stipulated in the books, if you want to demand Kwam 1's arrest and incarceration, then demand that airlines too should start facing the consequences of their actions when they delay customers or cancel their flights without proor notice.
If you have personal scores to settle with Kwam 1, do that in your capacity as citizen, not trying to turn an incident to avenue for witch-hunting the VIP.

You are still trying to justify the crime.I am not asking for KWAM1's incarceration far from it. I am asking that the authorities hold KWAM1 accountable for his actions. He should explain in court why and how his act did not endanger the lives and properties of other Nigerians. He can plead insanity......he can plead ignorance, There are ways out. But we are not going to ignore the situation.

Talking about airlines flouting NCAA rules, if you bring evidence,i will support you that they should also be brought to book. But i am not going to allow or tolerate the gaslighting or cognitive dissonance that KWAM1 did not commit a criminal offense. I do not know KWAM1 physically, I actually enjoy his music. But even if he was my twin brother, that doesn't make him above the law.

KWAM1 has to be arrested, he was seen on video committing a federal crime. He has to be arrested and arraigned in court, like everyone else who commits a crime.

LagosOrigin:
You've finally replied like a normal human being .

Now see what the law would have done to an ordinary citizen like you if you were the one that did what Kwam 1 did to that aircraft 👇

xtianchris:
😮😮Na wah

2old4that:
In a sane society, not just KWAM 1 or the Pilot should be punished. All the immigration officials who allowed or cleared him for boarding should also be punished. I can imagine he waved some wad of cash at them and they allow him.

People should be made to face the consequence of their actions.

dederocs:
Kwam1 really didn't know the gravity of what he was doing, definitely akin to hostage taking, he needs cautioning.

Dear OP, go and find something meaningful to do with your life

In a country already struggling with lawlessness in public spaces, the incident involving Fuji musician King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal (KWAM1) at the airport is more than just a celebrity misstep , it is a direct challenge to the sanctity of aviation safety regulations.

Eyewitness reports and airline sources indicate that KWAM1 allegedly attempted to circumvent security protocols, defied clear instructions from airport staff, and caused operational disruption over a prohibited liquid. In an aviation environment where even the smallest breach can cascade into a safety hazard, such conduct is not a minor infraction , it is a national security concern.

Here’s why this cannot be swept under the rug:
1. Aviation Security is Non-Negotiable – 100ml liquid restrictions are rooted in counter-terrorism measures, not personal convenience. Flouting these rules sets a dangerous precedent.
2. Obstruction of Flight Operations – Delaying or interfering with a commercial flight affects not just schedules, but also air traffic sequencing, fuel management, and emergency readiness.
3. Rule of Law – When celebrities openly defy lawful orders without consequence, it erodes public confidence in law enforcement. The next violator will feel emboldened.
4. International Reputation – Aviation authorities worldwide are watching. A failure to act firmly signals to foreign regulators that Nigeria tolerates indiscipline in its airports.

For decades, Nigeria’s justice system has been accused of treating the powerful with velvet gloves while wielding iron fists against the ordinary citizen. This case is a litmus test. The Civil Aviation Authority and law enforcement must arrest KWAM1, place him under investigation, and, if found guilty, prosecute him under the Nigerian Civil Aviation Act without fear or favor.

If we cannot hold even our most visible figures accountable for breaches in our most sensitive infrastructure, we have no business claiming we are serious about national security.

cr7lomo:
