Nigerian comedian Freedom Atsepoyi, known professionally as Mr Jollof, has issued an apology following an altercation with social media personality VeryDarkMan aboard a United Nigeria Airlines flight traveling from Asaba to Lagos. The entertainer posted a video statement acknowledging his involvement while maintaining he acted in self-defense during the physical confrontation that was recorded by fellow passengers.
Atsepoyi directed his regrets toward multiple parties, including the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, the airline company, passengers whose travel was disrupted, and his family members. He emphasized his behavior was uncharacteristic and pledged such incidents would not recur, though he insisted he responded to an attack rather than initiating violence.
VeryDarkMan subsequently claimed victory in the encounter and displayed visible injuries from the exchange.
