The dramatic mid-air incident has triggered a swift response from the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, which is now seeking formal details to begin an investigation.
Tension between Martins Vincent Otse and Mr Jollof has simmered for months, fuelled by a series of online disputes.
At one point Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan, accused Mr Jollof’s wife of improper conduct, souring relations and deepening their public rivalry. The latest confrontation appears to be a culmination of these long-running personal hostilities.
Shortly after the video began circulating, NCAA spokesperson Michael Achimugu posted on X, asking for information about the airline and the date of the flight. He explained that the agency needs verified details before initiating a formal inquiry.
His response signals that the regulator is treating the matter seriously, especially given the potential implications for passenger safety.
Under Nigerian aviation rules, disruptive behaviour on board an aircraft is treated as a high-risk violation.
If the NCAA determines that the fight endangered passengers or crew, Martins Vincent Otse and Mr Jollof could face penalties ranging from fines to temporary or even extended flight bans. In more severe cases, sanctions may escalate further, depending on the outcome of the investigation.
Passengers who witnessed the scuffle expressed disbelief at how quickly the argument escalated. The brief but intense exchange left many unsettled, with some calling for stricter enforcement to deter such behaviour. The viral nature of the footage has intensified public debate about safety, accountability and conduct aboard Nigerian flights.
