A physical altercation between social media personality Martins Otse, also known as Verydarkman, and comedian Freedom Atsepoyi, aka Mr Jollof, on a recent flight has sparked the attention of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA). The incident, which was captured on video and went viral on Monday, shows the two men exchanging blows during the flight.
The NCAA’s Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Michael Achimugu, has taken to social media to request details of the incident, including the name of the airline and the date it occurred. This information will aid in the investigation of the matter. The two individuals have a history of online disagreements, with their most recent feud involving allegations made by Verydarkman about Mr Jollof’s wife.
If found guilty, Verydarkman and Mr Jollof could face sanctions, including fines and potential flight bans. The NCAA takes such incidents seriously, as they compromise the safety and security of airline passengers. The authority’s investigation will focus on determining the circumstances surrounding the altercation and whether the individuals involved breached any aviation regulations.
The incident highlights the importance of maintaining order and respect for fellow passengers during flights. Airlines and regulatory bodies have a responsibility to ensure that all passengers can travel safely and without disruption. As the investigation unfolds, it is likely that the NCAA will review the airline’s response to the incident and assess whether its procedures for managing onboard conflicts were adequate.
The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority’s response to the incident demonstrates its commitment to upholding aviation standards and protecting the interests of passengers. The outcome of the investigation will be closely watched, as it may have implications for the individuals involved and the broader aviation industry in Nigeria.
