KWAM 1 nearly hit by plane at airport

Veteran Fuji music icon, King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, popularly known as KWAM 1, was involved in a terrifying near-miss incident at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, on Wednesday morning, where he was almost struck by a ValueJet aircraft during its taxiing process. The dramatic encounter has ignited public concern and debate surrounding airport safety and passenger behavior.

Eyewitnesses at the scene revealed that KWAM 1 was scheduled to travel on a ValueJet flight from Abuja to Lagos. However, tensions escalated when the musician was allegedly removed from the flight by airline staff over what is believed to be a violation of aviation regulations. The specific nature of this infraction has not yet been disclosed by the authorities or airline representatives.

Following his removal, an enraged KWAM 1 allegedly breached protocol by storming onto the airport tarmac. In a shocking act of protest, the singer reportedly attempted to block the aircraft from departing by physically positioning himself in front of the moving plane.

In a now-viral video circulating across social media platforms, KWAM 1 can be seen confronting airport ground personnel as the aircraft begins to taxi. The footage captures a harrowing moment where the airplane approaches dangerously close to the singer, missing him by mere feet and sparking gasps from onlookers.

The incident has drawn widespread criticism and prompted serious questions from aviation experts and concerned citizens. Many are asking how KWAM 1 was able to access the tarmac, a restricted area, without immediate interception by security personnel. Others are condemning the airline for continuing taxi procedures despite a pedestrian being directly in the path of the aircraft.

Some commentators argue that both the musician and airport officials may have demonstrated lapses in judgment, with potentially deadly consequences. Social media reactions have been intense, with many users expressing shock at the close call and calling for accountability on all sides.

As of the time of this report, both ValueJet and the relevant airport authorities have yet to release an official statement regarding the matter. Investigations are expected to follow as the incident gains nationwide attention.
