Nigerian Superstar, Burna Boy trended two weeks ago after his
police escorts were alleged to have shot and wounded two patrons of Cubana club
in Victoria Island, Lagos, in the early hours of Wednesday, June 8, 2022.
Reports revealed that the shooting began after a lady at the
club turned down Burna Boy’s offer to join him and his friends at the VIP section.
The said lady on Sunday night opened up on her side of the
story, as she detailed how Burna Boy’s aides attacked her partner and friends.
The lady, identified as Briella N on Instagram, noted that
she was visiting Nigeria from overseas for a friend’s wedding when the shooting
happened.
Giving details via her Instagram page, @nemebriella_, she
said, “We were visiting Nigeria from America and London for our childhood
friend’s wedding. On the 8th of June 2022, @burnaboygram & his friends
opened fire at us in @cubanalagos.
“My partner and his friend were shot, with both needing
urgent medical care. A bullet grazed my partners head and our friend was shot
in the thigh, leaving him hospitalised and needing an emergency surgery in
Nigeria.”
She noted that she and her friends were having a nice time
at the club when Burna Boy and his friends arrived.
The lady added, “As the night progressed, one of Burna Boy’s
friends walked to talk to me, his request was for Burna Boy to talk to me.
“On that first attempt, I told him I wasn’t interested in
talking to Burna Boy and I am married to my partner. He came again the second
time and was met with the same response.
“He came the third time and that caused a few of our friends
to flare up as they asked why he kept coming to disturb me. There were words
back and forth and one of Burna Boy’s friends attacked one of our friends, and
as they attacked him, the situation degenerated into a fight.”
Briella noted that the club security intervened and things were
slowly going back to normal when another fight broke out among Burna Boy’s
friends.
She noted that the shooting started at that point and
everyone scampered for safety.
“At this point, I couldn’t find my partner or my best
friend. I was screaming for help after being lifted and thrown so hard on the
floor by one of Burna’s friends and I hurt my left shoulder,” Briella
continued.
She added, “All our private police officers were not allowed
into the club, so it was left to us to fight for our lives. One of our friends
@theflowolf was trying to get Burna Boy to calm the situation but he only
laughed at him and proceeded to get in his car whilst being protected by his
security.
“The shootings happened twice at different times. His
friends were also shooting at people trying to evacuate the club through the
main entrance.
“They were out to kill and didn’t care who got hit. My
partner’s head was bleeding profusely and his friend lost so much blood he
needed a donor As soon as he got to the hospital.
“@burnaboygram left @cubanalagos without a scratch and flew
out to Spain the next morning.
“@obi_cubana only reached out to us four days after the
event claiming he had no idea and would do everything to get us justice for
attempted murder.
“11 days later, there has been no CCTV footage released by
the club OR even a statement to address the incident publicly. Business has
carried on as usual for him
“To sum things up, I’m traumatised. I’ve broken down every
day since then. The random flashbacks and nightmares. Especially after seeing
@burnaboygram’s response.
“The lack of remorse or accountability is beyond me. At
least two people could’ve died that night.”
Reacting to the shootings few days after the incident, Burna
Boy had tweeted, “Nigerian Social media can say BURNA BOY started Boko haram, e
no go shock me.”
