November 30, (THEWILL) – Fans of popular singer, Wizkid, breached the security at London’s O2 Arena on Sunday night to break into the Grammy-winning Afropop singer’s concert.
THEWILL writes that Wizkid is playing a three-night stand at the North Greenwich venue in the United Kingdom as part of his ‘Made In Lagos’ album tour.
However, on the first night, viral videos on social media showed a crowd of concertgoers avoiding security barriers and charging their way inside the venue as security guards appeared unable to keep them back.
According to BBC, a spokesperson who spoke concerning the development stated that security at the scene was temporarily breached but the situation was gotten under control.
“A breach of the security cordon on the arena entrance occurred. A number of fans in the queue were able to enter the venue,” the spokesperson was quoted as saying in a statement.
“The situation was quickly contained by staff and the incident resolved.”
Wizkid is expected to return to the venue Monday and Wednesday for the final two shows.
“The venue is reviewing security procedures for the remaining shows this week and advises fans to arrive early for security checks tomorrow night and again on Wednesday,” the statement added.
