The track, titled “Plane Stopper,” is inspired by Kwam 1’s daring and headline-grabbing attempt to singlehandedly stop a plane, an act that has left the nation both shocked and intrigued.

This incident has sparked significant public discourse and a lot of controversial comments have been circulated across social media.

It would be recalled that the now-suspended pilots, Captain Oluranti Ogoyi and First Officer Ivan Oloba, allegedly commenced departure procedures without mandatory pre-departure clearance, endangering airport safety.

However, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), through Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Obiageli Orah, provided an official account of the incident on August 5, 2025, enunciating Kwam 1 was scheduled to board a ValueJet flight to Lagos but attempted to carry an unidentified liquid flask onboard despite warnings from Aviation Security and the Flight Captain.

Upon refusal to comply with security protocols—consistent with Nigeria’s National Civil Aviation Security Programme (NCASP) and ICAO Annex 17 regulations concerning liquids exceeding 100ml—an altercation ensued.

The musician allegedly spilled the flask’s contents on a security officer; the Flight Captain intervened but was met with resistance. After closing the aircraft door, Kwam 1 refused to leave the front of the plane and had to be escorted away by security.

However, FAAN had stressed its commitment to aviation safety, declaring that all involved would be held accountable by law.
