In a post shared on X, the Director of Public Affairs and
Consumer Protection at NCAA described the altercation as “unacceptable
behaviour” and emphasised the danger it posed to passengers and crew.

“There is no tolerance for unruly behaviour aboard an
aircraft. Both individuals will face the full strength of the law,” the
spokesperson tweeted.

He highlighted the responsibility of the influencers,
saying, “It is even more shameful when one considers both of them partners in
educating their millions of followers to avoid unruly behaviour.”

The spokesperson noted that the airline should report the
incident to the NCAA and legal action would follow, adding, “The actions of
both men put the safety of all other passengers and the crew at risk. It also
put the safety of the aircraft at risk.”

He further stressed the regulator’s commitment to passenger
education, stating, “The NCAA has exerted a lot of energy and resources in
educating passengers about the dangers of unruly behaviour and its
consequences.

“In this case, no matter what led to the fracas, there is no
excuse that makes it acceptable.”

The incident reportedly began as an ongoing online feud
between the two men, escalating into a full-blown fight inside the aircraft
cabin. Passengers and crew intervened as chaos erupted on board.

VDM later posted a video on his Facebook page, claiming he
had confronted Mr Jollof during the altercation.

His post reads, “I don chop Jollof father for inside the
plane. He bite me, man wey de bite.”

The NCAA spokesperson said he was still awaiting details
from the airline and staff but assured that a full statement would follow once
the information was verified.
