He tweeted;
“My friend called me to tell me that his sister died at Hustle and Bustle early this morning. I quickly drove to the premises and I met my friend, friends of the deceased and employees of the Hustle and Bustle at the venue.
“My friend and his people have been at Hustle and Bustle since morning demanding CCTV footage so at least we can know the events that led to her demise. The most astonishing aspect of all this is the fact that the employees keep saying that the manager is the only one with access to the footage and the manager is sleeping.
“My friend’s sister died on the premises and the manager is sleeping; we are still here waiting for him to wake up from his beauty sleep.”
He later tweeted that the family had been given access to the CCTV footage, and the matter had been reported to the police.
“Manager is finally here and we’ve seen the footage and she was obviously electrocuted by one of the metals on the floor.
“We’re all gathered at the police station and the management of Hustle and Bustle sent their facility manager to represent them. Not only did they not report the case, but they also didn’t accompany the deceased who died on their premises to the hospital. It took the manager seven hours to respond,” he wrote.
Responding to the post, Nigerians took to different social media platforms to express their grief, urging the victim’s family to sue the club.
An Instagram user, @abiodundabiri, said,
“Clearly, she died from the negligent behavior of their staff which resulted in electrocution. They have a responsibility to protect the life and property of all those who visit their establishment.”
Another user, @gatsegwasi, said,
“What sort of negligence and I don’t care attitude is this? Management has to face the law. This is really heartbreaking.”
The management of the club, in a statement posted on its Instagram page on Monday, announced that the facility will be closed till further notice.
The statement reads
“We’re closed till further notice. This is due to the loss of our esteemed client. We are deeply saddened by this situation and need time to heal from it.
