A Nigerian man who witnessed the confrontation between VeryDarkMan and comedian Mr Jollof on a flight shared his account of the incident.
In a video posted via his TikTok account, he narrated how the disagreement happened before take-off.
The fight took place while passengers were settling in, and the witness explained how tension built up between the two men who had a longstanding dispute.
Identified as @ezikepaultobechukwu on TikTok, the eyewitness stated that he had been onboard the United Nigeria flight when both men arrived and took seats positioned opposite each other though not on the same row.
According to him, the issue began when passengers were arranging their hand luggage in the overhead compartments.
He said that VeryDarkMan spoke first to Mr Jollof and uttered the statement ‘I go slap you’, which those nearby initially assumed was playful.
However, the situation escalated almost immediately. The witness continued his narration by explaining that Mr Jollof reacted by throwing a punch and that VeryDarkMan reacted in the same manner, leading to a fight.
He added that another comedian, Funny Bone, attempted to intervene and bring the situation under control. The disagreement quickly drew attention from others onboard who were startled by the sudden commotion in the cabin.
He went on to say that flight authorities intervened and removed the two men from the aircraft. Speaking further, the eyewitness noted that the remaining passengers continued their journey without them and that both men stayed back in Asaba to resolve the matter.
In his words:
“This is exactly what happened at United Nigeria this morning. I’m an eye witness. I saw it happen myself. That’s my boarding pass, that’s my seat number. So two of them were close to each other but not on the same row. Jollof was on left, VDM was on right. So when they were putting their luggage in the overhead locker up there, na VDM first talk to Jollof tell am say I go slap you. People around thought it was a joke. Then, Mr Jollof then started throwing punch, VDM threw back and the fight started.Â
“Even Funny bone the comedian was trying to separate them. So what do I say in this? Of course the airport authority brought them down. We no travel with them. Them dey asaba there they settle themselves. VDM was wrong. Mr Jollof was wrong because I know their story. Currently they have a case in court, some of you don’t know that VDM and Jollof have a case in court that late last year wey they they dragged themselves online. So VDM and Jollof are not friends and satan made them enter the same airline today.”Â
