    Valuejet: I’ve Given Directive That K1 Should Be Placed On No-Fly List – Keyamo

    Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo SAN said the Abuja airport incident involving Fuji musician, Wasiu Ayinde K1 was a case of temporary loss of sanity and control on both sides which could have led to serious fatalities.

    Keyamo stated this in an X post on Thursday, shortly after the
    Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) announced it had blacklisted the musician for six months over the Tuesday incident.

    He said both the musician and staff of ValueJet involved in the incident breached standard safety protocol as required by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO).

    The minister said, “I have received reports from all the relevant aviation agencies regarding the altercation between the staff and crew of ValueJet and Kwam 1 at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, on Tuesday, August 5, 2025. I have also received video footages of the incident.

    “From all the details so far received, my preliminary impression is that it was obviously a case of temporary loss of sanity and control on both sides which could have led to serious fatalities”.

    “Contrary to what the agents of Kwam 1 has said, he CONSTANTLY moved his position on the tarmac to ACTUALLY BLOCK the aircraft from taxiing to take position on the runway for take-off. This is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE behaviour.

    “The issue of whether he was carrying water or alcohol is not even in issue at this point.

    “It is the physical blockage of the aircraft from taxiing that is the reprehensible conduct here which akin to a hostage situation.”

    The minister shared a video of the musician allegedly blocking the aircraft.

    He noted, “On the other hand, NO AMOUNT of provocation should make the Captain and Pilot of an aircraft begin to taxi without ensuring that the security personnel have safely moved an unruly passenger away that is standing in front of an aircraft.

    “Both sides breached standard safety protocol as required by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO).”

    The minister commended the NCAA’s “proactive action” of temporarily suspending the license of the Captain and the Pilot pending full investigation.

    “However, I have also questioned their sense of justice in only acting against one party and not the other party. What applies to the goose must also to the gander.

    “That is one of the tenets of justice I have preached all my life. I will not sit idly by and allow this to pass.

    “In the circumstance, I have also directed the NCAA to place KWAM 1 on a no-fly list pending further and full investigation, just like the Captain and Pilot.

    “All airlines, both domestic and International should IMMEDIATELY be informed of this directive and anyone who flouts this directive risk withdrawal of their operating licence,” the minister added.
