FG names Kwam 1 airport security ambassador
The Federal Government has announced a resolution to the recent controversy involving Fuji maestro Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, popularly known as KWAM 1, by reducing his flight ban and enlisting him as an ambassador for proper airport security protocol.
This was disclosed on Wednesday, August 13, 2025 by the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, in a statement addressing recent cases of unruly behavior at Nigerian airports.
Following an August 5 incident at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja, where KWAM 1 was accused of obstructing a ValueJet aircraft’s movement, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) had initially placed him on a six-month no-fly list and filed a criminal complaint with the police. The musician was accused of carrying a prohibited flask, allegedly containing alcohol, and spilling its contents on security personnel.
