‘KWAM 1’s Abuja Airport Incident An Act Of Terrorism,’ Says Ex-Kogi SDP Candidate Ajaka

Former Kogi State governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Alhaji Yakubu Muri Ajaka has condemned the recent incident involving popular fuji musician, Wasiu Ayinde a.k.a. K1 De Ultimate, at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.

Ajaka described the act as “an act of terrorism” that should not go unpunished.

Ajaka, in a statement on Friday in Lokoja, expressed dismay over reports that the artiste refused to comply with aviation security protocols, confronted airport officials, and allegedly obstructed a commercial aircraft from taxiing.

He said the behavior was “far beyond misconduct” and amounted to “an outrageous assault on public safety and the sanctity of Nigeria’s aviation system.”

“In any serious and sensible country, such behavior would be treated as an act of terrorism,” he stated.

“The deliberate obstruction of an aircraft and interference with the duties of trained aviation personnel directly endangers the lives of passengers and crew, and undermines the integrity of Nigeria’s airspace security.

“Even in conflict-ridden nations such as Somalia, there has been no recorded instance of a public figure or civilian physically preventing a commercial aircraft from moving in this manner.”

Ajaka warned that allowing the matter to go unpunished would set a dangerous precedent where celebrity status shields individuals from consequences while risking the lives of ordinary citizens.

He called on the Nigeria Police Force, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, and other relevant agencies to arrest, prosecute, and fully enforce the law against the musician.

“Air travel safety is non-negotiable. The lives of passengers must never be subjected to the whims of any individual, regardless of their status, fame, or influence. The Nigerian people deserve assurance that our laws apply equally to everyone,” Ajaka said.

The statement comes as the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) and the Ministry of Aviation have already signaled that Ayinde could face a no-fly ban and prosecution following the August 5 incident.
