Daughter of Fuji music maestro Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, known as K1 De Ultimate, Basirat Marshal, has responded to heated allegations that her father breached aviation regulations and disrupted airline operations.\n<\/p>\n
Damilola, who serves as the Senior Special Assistant on Tourism to Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, accused the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria and the Nigerian\u00a0Civil Aviation Authority of falsely claiming that K1 was carrying alcohol, asserting it was just water in his usual flask.\n<\/p>\n
FAAN on Wednesday had accused the 68-year-old Mayegun of Yorubaland of committing the offence while boarding a ValueJet Airlines morning flight (Flight VK 201) bound for Lagos.\n<\/p>\n
According to a statement by its spokesperson, Obiageli Orah, FAAN alleged that Kwam 1 brought an alcoholic beverage aboard the commercial flight in contravention of aviation rules.<\/p>\n
Consequently, on Thursday NCAA blacklisted the musician for six months, while the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, maintained that Kwam 1 must be punished.\n<\/p>\n
Keyamo described the musician\u2019s conduct as \u201cunacceptable\u201d and warned that such behaviour could have led to a tragic outcome.\n<\/p>\n
However, reacting to the development, Damilola, in a post on her Instagram page on Thursday, accused FAAN and the NCAA of making false claims.<\/p>\n
She said, \u201cI don\u2019t know why a reputable agency would lie that water is alcohol, I don\u2019t know when K1 became a magician who turns water into alcohol. <\/p>\n
\u201cWith the same flask, all of a sudden, everyone is pretending as if they don\u2019t know he carries his water in his flask everywhere.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
Kwam 1, through a statement issued by his spokesperson, Kunle Rasheed, clarified that the flask contained only water, not alcohol, contrary to the flight attendant\u2019s claim.\n<\/p>\n
He dismissed the allegations as exaggerated and misleading, noting that he was, in fact, the victim in the incident, a narrative at odds with accounts provided by FAAN and those circulating the rumour.\n<\/p>\n
According to him, FAAN, NCAA, and the airline\u2019s chairman and managing director subsequently issued an apology after realising their error.\n<\/p>\n
He said they also arranged a private jet to convey him to Lagos.\n<\/p>\n
However, the musician disclosed that he declined the offer despite persistent pleas from the airline\u2019s top executives.<\/p>\n
The incident led the NCAA to suspend two ValueJet pilots, Captain Oluranti Ogoyi and First Officer\u00a0Ivan\u00a0Oloba.\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Daughter of Fuji music maestro Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, known as K1 De Ultimate, Basirat Marshal, has responded to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":54445,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[49,48,361,75],"class_list":{"0":"post-54444","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-celebrities","11":"tag-entertainment"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54444","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=54444"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54444\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/54445"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54444"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=54444"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=54444"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
