United Nigeria Airlines has acknowledged the apology videos released by Martins “VeryDarkMan” Otse and comedian Freedom “Mr Jollof” Atsepoyi following their altercation on a flight earlier this week. The incident occurred on Monday, November 17, 2025, as both men were boarding Flight UN0523 from Asaba International Airport in Delta State to Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos. The confrontation drew the attention of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), with its Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Michael Achimugu, condemning the behavior and promising that the parties involved would face appropriate legal consequences. On Tuesday, both VeryDarkMan and Mr Jollof posted video apologies on Instagram, expressing regret to the NCAA, the airline, passengers, and the public.

In a statement released on Thursday, United Nigeria Airlines, through its Public Relations Officer Chibuike Uloka, confirmed that it had received and accepted the apologies. The airline emphasized that it expects both men to honor their commitments to avoid any conduct that could compromise aviation safety or decorum in the future. “United Nigeria Airlines acknowledges and accepts the public apologies issued by VeryDarkMan and Mr Jollof following the onboard altercation during the boarding of Flight UN0523 from Asaba to Lagos. We take note of their commitments expressed via social media to refrain from any conduct that could compromise aviation safety, order, or decorum onboard United Nigeria Airlines flights or any other airline,” the statement read. The airline also commended the swift response of the NCAA, Airport Security (AVSEC), other aviation authorities, and Asaba International Airport staff, as well as its crew for managing the situation professionally while following all safety protocols. United Nigeria Airlines reiterated its alignment with the Airline Operators of Nigeria and other regulatory bodies in efforts to prevent unruly passenger behavior. The airline called on travelers to cooperate fully with airline personnel, security, and airport authorities to maintain safe and orderly air travel in Nigeria. “United Nigeria Airlines remains committed to providing safe, reliable, and dignified service to all passengers across its network.

Mr Jollof Narrates Side Of His Story, Says VDM Not As Strong As People Think In Fight

Mr Jollof has broken his silence, offering a fresh and pointed narration of what truly happened during his altercation with VeryDarkMan. He insisted the encounter was never one-sided and that the moment he reacted, the tone of the fight changed instantly. He recounted that the first hit he landed left VeryDarkMan unsettled, challenging the image many people have of the social critic’s toughness. “As I gave VeryDarkMan the first blow, everywhere just blur. He’s not as strong as people think. I taught him a lesson as a senior brother.” Mr Jollof said the confrontation didn’t come out of nowhere, stressing that the real issue was the repeated insults aimed at his wife — insults he felt had crossed every boundary. “You open your mouth dey talk rubbish about my wife. She sued you and you couldn’t even defend yourself in court, behaving like a fool.” He maintained that the clash was a direct response to personal disrespect, not an attempt to create drama, and that he simply chose to address the matter in the moment rather than ignore what he described as a long-running provocation. I am not a vi0lent person, I only defended myself. I know my lovely wife is proud of me” – Mr. Jollof finally shares his side of the story pic.twitter.com/pfaSVrcdcH — TENIOLA (@Teeniiola) November 18, 2025

Mr Jollof Warns Nigerian Musicians Against Charging Unrealistic Performance Fees

In a social media post, he appealed to artistes to show consideration for fans and event organisers who are already struggling with rising costs, warning that excessive billing could dampen the excitement December is known for. “Dear Nigerian Music Artists, the current rate of billing is becoming unrealistic. If it continues, this festive season might not deliver the energy we all expect.
