The Nigeria Police Force has received an official petition from the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) over an alleged incident involving Mr. Wasiu Ayinde Marshal (popularly known as KWAM 1). This was made known in a statement on Tuesday evening by Force Spokesperson, DCP Muyiwa Adejobi.
KWAM 1 is accused of engaging in unruly conduct that allegedly obstructed the safe operation of an aircraft, in violation of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Regulations, 2023, following a reported incident on 5 August 2025 at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.
In response, the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, has directed the Commissioner of Police, Airport Command, to immediately commence a thorough investigation into the matter, to unravel the circumstances which led to the ugly incident and ensure justice is served accordingly.
The Force assured the public of its commitment to upholding safety and security within Nigeria’s aviation sector, while assuring stakeholders in the sector of improved collaboration towards aviation security and strict compliance with aviation laws.
According to him, the disparity in how the two cases were handled showed a lack of fairness in Nigeria’s justice system. He demanded that everyone involved in obstructing the aircraft or exposing the woman’s nakedness online should be charged.
Macaroni also challenged the Minister of State for Labour, Festus Keyamo, to go beyond social media commentary and ensure legal action is taken. He questioned why there appeared to be no punishment for obstructing a plane’s movement, while others were quickly jailed for lesser offences.
He concluded by accusing the authorities of applying the law unevenly, saying it appeared that justice in Nigeria depends on who is involved in the case.
