A video, purported to have captured the incident leading to
the collapse of a female clubber at Abuja Club, Hustle & Bustle, has
emerged online.
The incident, which led to the death of the lady, has been
generating controversy.
Recall that following the incident, the club shut down its operation in order to join the family to mourn the deceased. It had initially been circulated in the media that the lady was electrocuted.
Watch below:
Corrobating the trending CCTV footage, the management of
Hustle & Bustle on Friday has disclosed that contrary to online reports, the female
clubber was leaving the club with her friends and was playing when she slipped
and fell.
She died on her way to the hospital.
An official statement from Hustle & Bustle and signed by
the management reads: “We wish to thank our esteemed patrons and customers for
their love and support these last couple of days.
“Indeed, the loss of a customer is a blow that hit us harder
than we could have imagined, particularly because of the unexpected nature of
her demise.
“We want to extend our heartfelt sympathy once more to the
family of the deceased; we pray that the almighty God will continue to grant
them the fortitude to bear this painful loss.
“Despite the myriad of question and assumptions out in the
public, we had earnestly refrained from making any statement until this moment
for two reasons; mainly because we had to join the family and friends to mourn
a beautiful life that was taken too soon, and to enable the police to
extensively conduct and carry out their investigations.
“It, therefore, behooves on us at this moment to inform the
general public of these series of facts; On the 14th of November 2021, a dear
customer whilst leaving our premises, tripped and fell and this led to her
painful and untimely death.
“Owing to this tragedy, our management reached a decision to
shut down our business so as to adequately mourn the deceased, and also allow
the police unfettered access to conduct their investigations. On that fateful
morning, the deceased after leaving the club was happily playing around with
her friends, when she made a slight run, tripped and fell down a few meters to
the car park, and became unconscious. Sadly, she passed on, on their way to the
hospital.”
They added that the Nigeria Police Force has extensively
carried out their investigations and thoroughly reviewed the club’s wide and
lengthy CCTV footage.
“We assure the public that we have employed several health
and safety standards and we will continue to place safety over profit. We have
also used this bitter lesson to upgrade our already decent safety procedures
and we would do our utmost best to continue to serve as a leader in this sector.
“May God bless the soul of the departed. Thank you.
Management,” the statement read.
