The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has issued a firm and uncompromising statement following the dramatic in-flight altercation between popular social media personalities VeryDarkMan (VDM) and Mr Jollof.
A newly surfaced video showing both men inside a police station has intensified public interest, with authorities confirming that the duo will face the full weight of the law for their actions aboard a domestic flight.
The Incident That Triggered Nationwide Attention
The confrontation occurred aboard a United Nigeria Airlines flight scheduled from Asaba to Lagos. Passengers and crew were left stunned as an argument between VDM and Mr Jollof quickly escalated into a physical exchange.
The situation grew so disruptive that airline officials had to deboard both men and hand them over to airport security.
Soon after, footage emerged online showing the two influencers sitting at the airport police command, giving formal statements regarding the incident.
NCAA: “Zero Tolerance for Unruly Behavior”
In response to the viral confrontation, the NCAA released a stern message through its spokesperson, emphasizing that Nigeria’s aviation sector has zero tolerance for any form of unruly behavior aboard an aircraft.
The agency noted that:
- Such actions endanger passengers, crew members, and the aircraft itself.
- High-profile individuals are expected to set positive examples for the public.
- The investigation is ongoing, and the appropriate sanctions will be applied once findings are complete.
The statement made it clear that both VDM and Mr Jollof will not be treated lightly, regardless of their celebrity status.
