The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has opened an investigation into a mid-air dispute between social media personalities VeryDarkMan (VDM) and Mr Jollof aboard a United Nigeria Airlines flight from Asaba to Lagos. The altercation, captured in viral video footage, shows the two men physically engaging in the aisle of the aircraft.
NCAA’s Director of Public Affairs, Michael Achimugu, stated that the airline must formally report the incident and that both individuals face serious disciplinary measures for endangering passengers, crew, and the aircraft itself. He emphasised there is “no tolerance for unruly behaviour aboard an aircraft.”
United Nigeria Airlines confirmed the passengers were immediately de-boarded, handed over to airport security, and that the flight proceeded once safety protocols were enacted. The NCAA is also investigating the flight and security crew’s handling of the situation, including whether the pilot and security followed required procedures.
As the inquiry continues, both influencers could be blacklisted, sanctioned, or referred to law enforcement, signalling a stronger regulatory stance on aviation misconduct in Nigeria.
