The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has confirmed that Fuji music icon, Alhaji Wasiu Ayinde Marshal (K1 De Ultimate), was found with alcohol in a flask while attempting to board a Value Jet flight at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja.

 According to FAAN’s Director of Public Affairs, Obiageli Orah, K1 insisted on carrying the unidentified liquid despite warnings from Aviation Security (AVSEC) officers and the flight captain.

During the confrontation, he allegedly spilled the contents on a security officer and refused to comply.

Following the incident, K1 reportedly moved to the front of the aircraft and refused to vacate the area until AVSEC officers intervened. He was later released after preliminary investigation.

FAAN has reiterated its commitment to aviation safety and stated that the matter is still under investigation, with assurances that all involved parties will be held accountable as necessary.
