Treat KWAM 1 like any Nigerian, not APC’s musician, ADC tells FG

KWAM 1

The fallout from the airport incident involving Fuji music legend, King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, has intensified, as the African Democratic Congress lashed out at what it described as a “reckless” and “terroristic” act.

This is as the ADC demanded that KWAM 1 face the full weight of Nigerian terrorism laws.

In an X post on Thursday, the spokesman for the ADC, Bolaji Abdullahi, praised the swift reaction of the Aviation Minister, Festus Keyamo, but raised concerns about political interference and selective justice.

“On this KWAM1 matter, I commend my brother, the Honourable Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo, for describing the action as a ‘hostage situation.’ A hostage situation is an act of terrorism,” the spokesman said.

He then posed a sharp question aimed at Nigerian authorities and the public.

Abdullah queried, “What are the laws against terrorist actions in Nigeria? Will these laws be applied in this case?”

The statement refers to the August 5 incident at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, where KWAM 1 allegedly refused to comply with flight safety protocols, attempted to board with a prohibited flask, spilled its contents on security officials, and temporarily blocked the aircraft’s movement — prompting accusations of endangering passengers safety.
