Drama at Abuja Airport: ValueJet Pilot Speaks Out on KWAM 1 Incident
ValueJet pilot Captain Oluranti Ogoyi has given a detailed account of a heated encounter with legendary Fuji star King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal (KWAM 1) at the Abuja airport, an incident that sparked safety concerns and led to disciplinary actions.
Reports claimed KWAM 1 had a close brush with one of ValueJet’s aircraft, prompting the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) to suspend Capt. Ogoyi and her co-pilot, Flight Officer Ivan Oloba, for alleged breaches of aviation safety protocols — though the exact violations remain unclear. Separately, KWAM 1 received a six-month flight ban within Nigeria.
According to Capt. Ogoyi, the incident began when KWAM 1 approached the aircraft carrying a gold flask. Ground staff, suspecting it contained alcohol, requested to inspect it — a standard safety measure. The singer allegedly refused, saying, “Do you know who I am? You have no right to tell me to open my flask.”
She claims the situation escalated when KWAM 1 poured the flask’s contents on her, security personnel, and nearby passengers. Airport security intervened, and the Head of Security advised that he be barred from boarding. Ogoyi agreed, citing passenger safety as her priority.
After the delay and removal of the musician from the boarding area, Ogoyi resumed the flight to Lagos, departing at 8:50 a.m..
