Nigerian comedian Freedom Atsepoyi, popularly known as Mr Jollof, has spoken out for the first time after his altercation with fellow passenger Very Dark Man (VDM) during a commercial flight.
Reports indicate that both men were involved in a physical confrontation aboard a United Nigeria Airlines flight said to be travelling from Asaba, Delta State, to Lagos.
A viral video captured the moment the two exchanged blows inside the aircraft.
In response to the incident, Mr Jollof shared a video on his Instagram page, where he offered an apology to the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), United Nigeria Airlines, and the passengers on the flight.
He further apologised to his family and employer, stressing that he is not a violent individual and only acted in self-defence.
In his words, Mr Jollof said, “I want to use this medium to sincerely apologise to the NCAA, United Nigeria Airlines, and the passengers that boarded the airline. I was only defending myself. You guys saw what happened, and I am very sorry if I delayed your appointment. Pardon me. This isn’t my kind of person. It will never happen again.
“To my lovely wife, I know you’re proud of me. To my kids, I am sorry, Daddy will never do this again. To my boss, I am very sorry, this isn’t my kind of person.”
