Social media personality Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, has apologised to the public after his in-flight altercation with comedian Freedom Atsepoyi, also known as Mr Jollof, caused a delay on a United Nigeria Airlines flight.
The clash occurred on a flight from Asaba to Lagos, where both men were seen in a viral video engaging in a physical confrontation while other passengers attempted to separate them.
In a video posted on Instagram on Tuesday, VeryDarkMan admitted he acted irresponsibly and accepted full responsibility for the disruption.
“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.
He said watching the video again made him realise he had behaved poorly.
“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 assured the public that such behaviour would not happen again, especially in public spaces.
