NCAA to sanction VeryDarkMan, Mr Jollof over fight on Asaba–Lagos flight

The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has announced disciplinary action against social media influencer Martins Otse (VeryDarkMan) and comedian Freedom Atsepoyi (Mr Jollof) after the pair engaged in a physical fight aboard an Asaba–Lagos flight on Monday.

In a statement issued on X, the NCAA condemned the confrontation as “unacceptable behaviour” that endangered passengers, crew and the aircraft.

“There is zero tolerance for unruly conduct onboard an aircraft. Both individuals will face the full weight of the law,” the Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection said.

The agency expressed disappointment that public figures with large followings were responsible for such misconduct, stressing that their actions violated aviation safety protocols.

The NCAA confirmed that the airline involved is expected to submit an official report before legal sanctions are issued.

Eyewitnesses said the clash was fueled by an ongoing social media feud between VeryDarkMan and Mr Jollof, which escalated into a physical altercation in the aircraft cabin. Passengers and crew intervened to restore order.

VDM later posted a video claiming he confronted Mr Jollof, saying:

“I don chop Jollof father for inside plane. He bit me—man wey dey bite.”

The NCAA said a full statement will be released after reviewing reports from the airline and cabin crew.
