Nigerian comedian Freedom Okpetoritse Atsepoyi, popularly known as Mr Jollof, has spoken publicly about his recent in-flight confrontation with social media personality VeryDarkMan, describing the incident as a matter of self-defence.
In an Instagram post on Tuesday, Mr Jollof explained the circumstances of the clash, emphasising that he is not naturally violent and only acted to protect himself.
“I want to use this medium to sincerely apologise to the NCAA, United Nigeria Airlines, and the passengers. I was only defending myself. You guys saw what happened. I am very sorry if I delayed your appointment. I’m very sorry. Pardon me. I am not that kind of person; it will never happen again,” he stated.
He also addressed his family, saying:
“To my lovely wife, I know you are proud of me. And to my kids, I’m sorry, daddy will never do this again.”
Mr Jollof reiterated that the altercation arose from an attack against him and stressed that his actions were purely defensive. He extended his apologies for the inconvenience caused to passengers and thanked the National Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) and United Nigeria Airlines for their patience.
