Verydarkman, Mr jollof engage in mid-air fight
A viral video has captured the moment social media critic Martins Otse, popularly known as Verydarkman (VDM), and comedian Freedom Atsepoyi, better known as Mr Jollof, got into a physical altercation aboard a commercial flight, prompting fellow passengers — including comedian Funny Bone — to intervene.
The footage, posted Monday by Facebook user Dr Paul Ezikel, showed both men exchanging blows inside a United Nigeria Airlines flight reportedly en route from Asaba, Delta State, to Lagos.
VDM and Mr Jollof have long had a strained relationship, with their feud intensifying after VDM accused the comedian’s wife of having affairs with internet fraudsters — an allegation that stirred major controversy online.
Shortly after the incident, VDM went live on Facebook, bragging that he had “dealt with” Mr Jollof. In a follow-up video, he lifted his shirt to reveal bite marks on his torso, saying:
“He bite me… man wey dey bite, he no shame. They beg am. I enter plane, I see am. I say, ‘You go slap me today o.’ I go near am, he punch me. He don spoil my tattoo now with him teeth wey he no brush.”
He further taunted the comedian, adding, “I don chop Jollof father for inside plane.”
Reacting to the incident, the Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection at the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), Michael Achimugu, issued a statement on X requesting information to support an investigation.
“If you are kind enough to provide the name of the airline in whose aircraft this incident occurred, and the date, it would help investigations,” he wrote.
