The Fuji musician’s disorderly conduct led to the suspension of the pilots.

The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has accused popular Fuji musician, Wasiu Ayinde of unruly conduct against an aviation personnel.

FAAN alleged Kwam 1 poured alcohol on the aviation personnel after they tried to verify the content of a flask he wanted to travel with.

This was made public by FAAN in a statement on Wednesday.

This is as the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), on August 5, suspended two ValueJet pilots over a safety breach at the domestic terminal of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.

The authority said the pilot commenced departure procedures from the designated bay without adhering to the mandatory pre-departure clearance protocols.

The Fuji musician’s disorderly conduct led to the suspension of the pilots.

Kwam 1, who was onboard a ValueJet plane on August 5, was seen drinking from a flask and was approached by a flight attendant who suspected that the content was alcohol — a substance prohibited onboard aircraft in Nigeria.

“In accordance with international aviation security standards specifically, Nigeria’s National Civil Aviation Security Programme (NCASP) and ICAO Annex 17 liquids exceeding 100ml are not permitted through security screening unless medically necessary and properly declared,” the statement reads.

“The passenger was informed of this regulation but reportedly declined to comply.

“As boarding continued, an airline security officer asked the passenger to step aside for further clarification.

“The passenger allegedly refused and spilled the contents of the flask on the officer, which turned out to be alcohol.

“The Flight Captain intervened but faced similar resistance. After confirming that boarding was complete, she instructed the closure of the aircraft door.

“At this juncture, the passenger moved to the front of the aircraft and refused to leave the area despite repeated requests.

“He was ultimately escorted away by AVSEC crime unit for further investigation, after which he was released.”
