In an Instagram video, he expressed remorse for the incident, stressing that he is not a violent person and only acted in self-defense.
He extended his apologies to the airline, fellow passengers, as well as his wife, children, and boss.
“I want to use this medium to sincerely apologies to the NCAA, United Nigeria Airlines, and the passengers that boarded the airline. I was only defending myself. You guys saw what happened, and I am very sorry if I delayed your appointment. Pardon me. This isn’t my kind of person. It will never happen again.
“To my lovely wife, I know you’re proud of me. To my kids, I am sorry, Daddy will never do this again. To my boss, I am very sorry, this isn’t my kind of person.
“PLEASE NOTE: I AM NOT A VIOLENT PERSON AND I PROMISE SUCH CHARACTER WILL NEVER OCCUR AGAIN. ALTHOUGH I WAS UNDER ATTACK, I DEFENDED MYSELF.
PROMISE MADE, PROMISE KEPT,” he wrote.
The fight, which was captured on video, showed Mr Jollof and VeryDarkMan trading blows on the flight from Asaba to Lagos.
