United Nigeria Airlines has acknowledged and accepted the public apologies issued by online personalities VeryDarkMan and Mr. Jollof.
According to DDM corespondent, the airline confirmed the development on Thursday following days of heated exchanges and viral controversy involving the two influencers.
The situation began after both men made strong allegations against the airline in separate online videos that quickly gained traction across major social platforms.
Their claims sparked widespread debate among travelers, aviation enthusiasts, and social media audiences.
United Nigeria Airlines responded by condemning the allegations, describing them as misleading and damaging to its reputation.
The airline said the statements made by both men created unnecessary tension and misrepresented the circumstances that were being discussed publicly.
Following the backlash, VeryDarkMan released a video retracting his claims and apologizing directly to the airline.
He acknowledged that certain details he shared were inaccurate and expressed regret for any reputational harm caused.
Mr. Jollof later issued his own public apology, admitting that his earlier comments were made without full verification of facts.
He stated that he accepted responsibility for the misinformation and expressed willingness to correct the narrative.
United Nigeria Airlines said it appreciated the corrective actions taken by both men.
The company emphasized that the apologies demonstrated accountability in an environment where misinformation spreads rapidly.
The airline added that false allegations can significantly affect its operations, customer confidence, and global partnerships.
It noted that aviation is an industry where public trust is essential for passenger safety and business integrity.
The company also reiterated its commitment to maintaining high operational standards and engaging constructively with customers.
It encouraged members of the public to verify information before sharing it online.
Industry experts say this incident highlights the growing influence of social media figures on consumer perceptions.
They also note that airlines and other service providers increasingly face reputational risks from viral content.
Some analysts believe the swift apologies may prevent potential legal action from the airline.
Others argue the situation illustrates a broader pattern of influencers facing consequences for unverified claims.
United Nigeria Airlines said it considers the matter closed following the public apologies.
It expressed hope that the incident will serve as a reminder of the importance of responsible communication.
The airline urged the public to prioritize factual accuracy in all aviation-related discussions.
It added that it remains open to dialogue with customers and stakeholders to address concerns transparently.
Further clarifications from the airline are expected as it continues efforts to rebuild confidence after the controversy.
