NCAA Weighs in on VDM, Mr Jollof’s Aircraft Fight as They Begin Investigation: “No Unruly Behaviour”

In response to the footage, Michael Achimugu, NCAA's Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, posted on X, referencing one of the clips and writing:

"If you are kind enough to provide the name of the airline in whose aircraft this incident occurred, and the date, it would help investigations."

In a follow-up post, Achimugu condemned their actions, accusing them of endangering the safety of passengers and crew members.

“There is no tolerance for unruly behaviour aboard an aircraft. Both individuals will face the full strength of the law. It is even more shameful when one considers both of them partners in educating their millions of followers to avoid unruly behaviour.
"While waiting for information (I have reached out to our staff for details now that I am on ground), one wonders whether the pilot had both passengers deplaned or if they were flown to the destination. If it were the latter, there would be consequences. 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.”

The cause of the altercation remains unclear. According to reports, it began before takeoff, but neither the airline nor the individuals involved has issued an official statement.
