Aircraft fight: I acted irresponsibly – Verydarkman apologises

Controversial social media personality, Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, has issued a public apology after his in-flight clash with comedian Freedom Atsepoyi, better known as Mr Jollof, caused delays on a United Nigeria Airlines flight.

The altercation occurred on a flight from Asaba to Lagos, where both men were captured on video engaging in a physical confrontation as passengers attempted to separate them.

In a video posted on Instagram on Tuesday, VeryDarkMan said he takes “full responsibility” for the disruption, admitting the incident was unnecessary.

“I would really like to apologise for what happened yesterday on the United Nigerian Airlines. What happened yesterday was not supposed to happen, and I will take full responsibility for it,” he said.

He acknowledged the inconvenience caused to passengers who had important engagements.

“A lot of people on that flight had important things to do, but because of that little irresponsibility from my end, their flight was delayed. Some people might have had medical emergencies, and some had business contracts to sign. I don’t know what that little delay would have cost them, and I really want to apologise,” he added.

“Looking back at what happened yesterday, I really didn’t like that part. Even though some people saw everything as a cruise on social media, I acted irresponsibly,” he said.

VeryDarkMan further assured Nigerians that such behaviour would not occur in public spaces again.

“I cannot guarantee that it will not happen again. I can only guarantee that it will not happen on the plane, on the bus or in a public place that will stop people from going to their destination,” he said. “But I am really, really sorry for yesterday.”
