Obi Cubana’s Club finally Speak on the death of female Clubber
Hustle and Bustle, a nightclub owned by popular socialite, Obi Iyiegbu fondly referred to as Obi Cubana has finally spoken on the death of a female clubber who was allegedly electrocuted to death in their premises on November 14, 2021.
The club was earlier forced to temporarily shut down operations after the sad incident. However, after due investigation, the club in a statement signed by its management and posted on its Instagram account noted that contrary to news that made rounds, the young lady’s death was not caused by electrocution in the club, instead, she ‘tripped and fell’.
The management of Hustle and Bustle noted that they had kept mum on the situation for two reasons:- Because they were mourning with the family of the deceased and secondly, awaiting the results from the police investigation.
The statement read;
“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.
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. The Nigerian Police Force has extensively carried out their investigations and thoroughly reviewed our wide and lengthy CCTV footage and we await the report of this investigation.
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”.
