Earlier today, a video of Nollywood actor, Jim Iyke went viral on social media showing him in a bit of an altercation with law enforcement officers at the Muritala Mohammed Airport over a case of alleged assault.

The controversial actor has come out to clear the air on what really went wrong at the Lagos airport on his way to Abuja.


In an exclusive chat with NET, Jim Iyke denied assaulting anyone at the airport saying, 'people are just amazing, the truth is that I was running late for a flight in Abuja, and my people had sent my luggage a flight ahead. I tried hard not to miss the flight, but by the time I made it to the gate, the captain had almost shut the aircraft’.


He explained further that one of the security guards close by got too eager and got involved.

‘One of the security guards who saw me struggling to make my way in got overzealous and got into an argument with my PA. Then they started exchanging words and pointing fingers at the heat of the moment.

At the end of the day, we couldn’t even make it (the flight) and when we were coming back, the airport assistant went to call the police and said my Personal Assistant hit his face and pushed him.

But when the policeman saw that it was me, I told them to let us go downstairs to resolve the matter, it was an issue of tempers fraying. We then went downstairs and the matter was resolved. I even boarded the same Dana Air Craft and I was shocked upon my arrival to hear that I was arrested by the Police. Which Police?’

He continued to say ‘I know that people need content, but let’s not blow things out of proportion, I am not the kind of person who will post a rejoinder on issues like this, because I will be fuelling the fire, but we are all human and we lose our temper at different points in our lives, especially with how rude and unprofessional people are and more bewildering is the fact that people never want to hear the other side of the story’



‘The funny part is that this guy they said I slapped came to pick me up at the lounge and took me to the plane. He got me a better seat and I gave him little change because I know the country is hard. We hugged and ended it on a great note. The manager himself took me to the plane and I told him to school his staff on how to treat people. Its sad the length that people will go to spread the fake news about people. Thank you for being one of the credible media houses who actually confirm news before publishing it,’ Jim said.

Learn to be more patient in life...... it makes you be at peace with everyone and it gives you long happy life!

Bloggers and lies are akin to buhari and "lifelessness".
They just conjure up stories without getting to the root of the issue just to trend and make money at the expense of one's image.
Measures seriously need to be put in place to curb this propagation of fake information and also call those hungry bloggers to order because it now seems like anyone can go into blogging as long as you can cook up stories and distort facts.Anyone who is caught in the act of spreading false information about someone else in the name of blogging should be duly punished for defamation.That will serve as a deterrent to others.

Character assassinations everywhere.

The funny part is that this guy they said I slapped came to pick me up at the lounge and took me to the plane. He got me a better seat and I gave him little change because I know the country is hard.

The truth is, Some group of nairaland dummies are too quick to jump into conclusion.


See the way and manner they insulted Jim yesterday, you would think he killed the Aviation minister.

Rubbish lailaisblog posting rubbish. Even punch too fell for such crap.These bloggers are just there to gather traffic @ the detriment of people's integrity.
