United Nigeria Airlines Removes VeryDarkman and Mr Jollof After In-Flight Altercation
United Nigeria Airlines has confirmed that social media figures Martins Otse, “VeryDarkman” and entertainer Freedom Mr Jollof were removed from a Lagos-bound flight at Asaba Airport after a disruptive altercation onboard. The incident, which has caught national attention, unfolded during boarding on Monday and forced crew members to intervene before the aircraft could depart. According to the airline, the confrontation escalated to the point where safety protocols were activated. Both men were de-boarded and handed over to airport security for questioning. Passengers were delayed briefly as order was restored, but the aircraft later took off without incident. The airline stressed that it maintains a zero-tolerance stance toward behavior likely to threaten safety or comfort in the cabin, adding that its action reflected standard global aviation procedure. Videos circulating online show the two men in a heated exchange, with VeryDarkman later alleging physical assault and Mr. Jollof yet to issue a detailed public statement. Airport authorities have not disclosed whether criminal charges will follow. In the court of public opinion, the affair has already raised larger questions about inflight discipline, celebrity conduct, and the preparedness of security teams at regional airports. VeryDarkman and Mr Jollof may yet resolve their differences in private, but for United Nigeria Airlines, the message was unmistakable: the flight crew, not the influence-rs, remain in command 30,000 feet.
