• United Nigeria Airlines deboarded popular influencers VeryDarkMan and Mr. Jollof from Flight UN0523 after they exchanged punches at Asaba International Airport, with authorities taking them into custody for investigation.

The United Nigeria Airline has confirmed that Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, and Freedom Okpetoritse Atsepoyi, widely called Mr. Jollof, were deboarded from its Flight UN0523 on Monday, November 17, following a physical altercation at Asaba International Airport.

In a statement signed by the airline’s Public Relations Officer, Chibuike Uloka, the airline said crew members acted immediately to de-escalate the situation in line with global aviation safety protocols.

“United Nigeria Airlines confirms that an altercation occurred between two passengers, identified as Martins Vincent Otse ‘VeryDarkMan’ and Freedom Okpetoritse Atsepoyi ‘Mr. Jollof,’ during the boarding of Flight UN0523 at Asaba International Airport on the morning of 17 November 2025,” the statement read.

Both passengers were deboarded without delay to ensure the safety, comfort, and security of all other passengers and crew members. They were subsequently handed over to airport security for further investigation,” he said.

The cause of the altercation remains unclear, though airport security officials are expected to release findings following their investigation. “We remain firmly committed to providing a safe, respectful, and secure travel experience across our network,” Uloka added.

This incident adds to a growing list of airport altercations in Nigeria. In August, the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority blacklisted Fuji musician K1 De Ultimate for six months after breaching security protocols at Abuja’s Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport. Likewise, an Ibom Air passenger, Comfort Emmanson, reportedly attacked crew members and airport security officials at Lagos’ Murtala Mohammed International Airport earlier this year.
