KWAM 1 and Comfort Emmanson: FG Releases 5 Things Air Passengers Must Do

• The KWAM 1 saga and Comfort Emmanson with ValueJet officials, and that of Ibom Air, have led to the reorientation of air passengers in Nigeria
• While KWAM 1 has a physical confrontation with ValueJet officials at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja, Emmanson’s situation became more devastating
• The NCAA, in a bid to reorient the public on using the airports in the country, has released five must-do things for air passengers in Nigeria

The federal government agency, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), has released the guidelines that air passengers must follow when boarding a plane at the Nigerian Airports.

This came amid the controversies that followed the confrontation between King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall, popularly known as KWAM 1 or K1 De Ultimate and the officials of the ValueJet Airlines at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja on Friday, August 8.

There was a similar controversial development with another passenger identified as Miss Comfort Emmanson, also known as Comfort Bob, who allegedly assaulted both flight crew and ground staff during Ibom Airline Flight Q153 from Uyo to Lagos on 10 August 2025.

Taking to social media on Tuesday, August 12, the NCAA educated the public by explaining the five must-do things for air passengers at the Nigerian airports. Below is the list of things:

Arrive on time

The NCAA explained that passengers are expected to arrive at the airport two hours before taking a domestic flight and three hours before taking an international flight.

According to the federal government agency, this would give room for check-in, security and boarding properly.

Know the rules and have documents ready

The federal government urged air passengers to read and understand ticket terms and conditions before using the airports.

It then urged the users to come with a valid ID card, tickets, visas, travel documents, and required health certificates (when the passenger is sick or pregnant).

Follow the law and regulations, show respect and avoid interference

According to the NCAA, air passengers are to comply with all government, airport and airline rules. Passengers are urged to be courteous to staff and fellow passengers and are told to avoid behaviours that are unruly, abusive or harassing.

The government said that air passengers must not disturb the crew or interfere with the operators of an aircraft.

Switch off devices

Also, passengers are advised to switch off their mobile phones and other connecting devices during the flight.

The NCAA explained that this was for safety and respect for other passengers on board.

Report issues promptly

Air passengers are also urged to report any issues to staff immediately they arise.
