VeryDarkMan and Mr Jollof Handed to Security After Mid-Flight Fight
A physical fight broke out between social media personalities VeryDarkMan (Martins Vincent Otse) and comedian Mr Jollof (Freedom Okpetoritse Atsepoyi) during a flight operated by United Nigeria Airlines. The incident occurred on Flight UN0523 from Asaba, forcing the airline to hand both men over to airport security after the confrontation. The situation caused panic among passengers and quickly went viral on social media.
The altercation reportedly began during boarding. A video circulating online shows the two men grappling in the aisle of the plane while fellow passengers tried to separate them. Voices in the video claimed that Mr Jollof started the fight, but both parties gave different accounts of what led to the clash. The airline said they acted immediately to calm the situation and ensure everyone’s safety.
United Nigeria Airlines confirmed that both individuals were removed from the flight to prevent further disruption. The airline emphasized that passenger safety is its top priority and that it follows strict global aviation safety protocols. The crew acted quickly to de-escalate the situation before it could endanger others onboard.
VeryDarkMan explained that the fight was the result of weeks of online disagreements between him and Mr Jollof. He claimed he was provoked and even bitten during the encounter. According to him, the face-to-face meeting on the flight was the climax of ongoing social media disputes that had escalated over time.
Passengers said the scene was tense, with some trying to calm the two men while others filmed the incident. The video has since gone viral, sparking conversations online about the dangers of letting online conflicts spill into real life. Many commenters expressed concern over the safety of passengers and the airline’s handling of the situation.
The airline reassured the public that they acted professionally and followed proper procedures in dealing with the fight. Their immediate deplaning of both VeryDarkMan and Mr Jollof prevented the altercation from affecting other travelers. United Nigeria Airlines is cooperating fully with security authorities to resolve the matter.
Airport security authorities have now launched a formal investigation into the incident. Both social media personalities are expected to provide statements to help determine what happened and whether any legal action will be taken. The investigation will also review the viral footage and witness accounts from passengers.
This mid-flight confrontation highlights the need for caution when personal disputes spill over into public spaces. United Nigeria Airlines continues to remind passengers that safety comes first and that any aggressive behaviour on board will not be tolerated. The incident has also become a cautionary tale for online influencers about the consequences of letting online conflicts escalate in real life.
