VDM said;

“My enemies would have been mocking me by now. I thank God for Mr Jollof biting me; that could have been the end of the story."

The activist recalled challenging Mr Jollof: “I told him to come and slap me now, since he said so online.”

The verbal back-and-forth intensified as Mr Jollof reportedly replied, “It be like say you dey craze.”

An older woman reportedly intervened, asking VDM to step back. But by then, Mr Jollof had already landed two punches to VDM’s face.

VDM revealed how he reacted to the blows, describing the moment he controlled Mr Jollof during the struggle.

He admitted:

“I held his head under my arm and tightened my grip. I wanted to make him faint until he bit me."

He explained that the biting incident prevented him from taking the altercation further. VDM said it also spared him from what could have been far worse consequences.

The activist added that the feud had deep personal roots: Mr Jollof allegedly insulted his mother and even exposed VDM’s home address, forcing him to relocate.
