Social media personality, Martins Otse, better known as VeryDarkMan, has apologised to the public following his in-flight clash with comedian Freedom Atsepoyi, better known as Mr Jollof, which caused delays on a United Nigeria Airlines flight.
The Eastern Updates reports that the altercation happened 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.
Apologising 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.
“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.
He, therefore assured Nigerians that such behaviour would not occur in public spaces again.
In other news, Popular social media critic, Martins Vincent Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan, has staged a protest at the entrance of the residence of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, in Abuja.
The protest follows Wike’s announcement of plans to withhold 10 per cent of the statutory allocation to area councils due to their failure to implement the new minimum wage for primary school teachers, an issue which has led to an ongoing strike.
On Monday, however, VDM gathered school children dressed in uniforms and conducted a class in which he taught them the letters of the alphabet.
