NCAA Submits Petition to IGP over KWAM 1’s Disruptive Behavior at Abuja Airport

On Tuesday, the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) filed a formal petition with Inspector-General of Police Kayode Egbetokun concerning an incident at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja. The petition, lodged by the NCAA, revolves around allegations that Mr Wasiu Ayinde Marshal—popularly known as KWAM 1—engaged in disorderly behavior, impeding safe aircraft operations. The Force Public Relations Officer, DCP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, confirmed receipt of the petition in a statement issued later that evening.

According to the NCAA, the musician’s actions on August 5 were deemed disruptive and constituted a breach of the 2023 Nigerian Civil Aviation Regulations. Following submission of the petition, the IGP instructed the Commissioner of Police, Airport Command, to initiate a prompt and comprehensive probe into the matter. This inquiry aims to uncover the exact circumstances that led to the disturbance and to ensure justice is duly applied.
