Chaos on the Tarmac: K1 De Ultimate Faces Legal Storm After Abuja Airport Showdown
The Incident That Grounded a Legend
On August 5, 2025, Fuji icon K1 De Ultimate—real name Wasiu
Ayinde Marshal—found himself in a high-stakes drama at Nnamdi Azikiwe
International Airport, Abuja. Allegedly carrying a flask exceeding the 100 ml
liquid limit, he attempted to forcefully board a ValueJet aircraft.
In protest:
* He splashed alcohol on airport security
* Stormed onto the tarmac
* Blocked the plane from taxiing
The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) swiftly removed him from the skies,
placing him on a no-fly list and labeling his actions as a “grave violation of
aviation safety and airport protocol.”
NCAA Seeks Justice: Legal Petition Made
In response, the NCAA formally petitioned:
* Attorney-General of the Federation (Lateef Fagbemi)
* Inspector-General of Police (Kayode Egbetokun)
They’re calling for a full investigation and prosecution under the 2023 Nigeria
Civil Aviation Regulations (Nig. CARs) and any applicable laws.

laws. |

K1 Responds—But the Law Responds Louder
The musician has denied misconduct—but denial isn’t a shield
at 30,000 feet. The law demands that airport safety standards be universally
respected, not selectively enforced.
