Speaking on Instagram on Tuesday, he explained the circumstances surrounding the incident, emphasising that he is not naturally violent and only acted to defend himself.

Mr Jollof also extended a sincere apology to the passengers affected by the delay caused by the clash, as well as to the National Civil Aviation Authority and United Nigeria Airlines, expressing regret for any inconvenience his actions may have caused.

“I want to use this medium to sincerely apologise to the NCAA, United Nigeria Airlines, and the passengers. I was only defending myself. You guys saw what happened. I am very sorry if I delayed your appointment. I’m very sorry. Pardon me. I am not that kind of person; it will never happen again. And to my lovely wife, I know you are proud of me. And to my kids, I’m sorry, daddy will never do this again,” he stated.

He also claimed that he was under attack, stressing that he was only defending himself.
