”My team and I are still awaiting the full debrief back from the Venue management and the Police to determine what exactly led to all the disruption caused and ultimately to Rebecca’s passing.
Recall that Asake was forced to end his sold-out performance at the O2 Academy Brixton on Thursday after a huge number of followers who did not have tickets attempted to force access to the venue.
According to a Police report, eight people were transported to hospitals while two more who suffered fewer injuries were attended to at the scene.
