Talented Nigerian singer, Ahmed Ololade, well known as Asake has been advised to cancel his sold-out show at O2 Academy Brixton, south London, midway through as people who had no tickets, attempted to gain access, leaving four injured.
Sources revealed that the fans forced the sold-out show to stop halfway through on Thursday night after breaching the venue doors.
According to the police, four people have reportedly sustained injury while four others were hospitalised after the crush at the concert venue.
Meanwhile, it was confirmed that “that a large number of people were attempting to force entry to the venue while Police and other emergency services were called to the O2 Academy in Brixton at 21:35 pm (2135 GMT)
The Metropolitan police said, “They arrived to find a number of people with injuries believed to have been caused by crushing.
“Detectives are investigating the circumstances which led to four people sustaining critical injuries,”
Two “less seriously injured” people were treated at the scene while the eight others were taken to hospital by ambulance.
No arrests have been made, the Met noted.
“This is an extremely upsetting incident which has left four people critically ill in hospital,” Commander Ade Adelekan said.
“A police investigation has been launched, and it will be as thorough and as forensic as necessary to establish exactly what happened last night.”
However, there is an appeal to the public, inviting anyone with vital information concerning the incident, to come forward, while officers are willing to examine the scene and CCTV.
