Over the weekend, Nigerian singer, Wizkid, made history by becoming one of the few African musicians to sell out his tickets within 12 minutes at the O2 Arena, but this was sadly marred by some of his fans who breached security protocols to gain access to the show last night.
A video circulating on social media shows some fans of the Ojuelegba hitmaker, Wizkid, who couldn’t get tickets for the singer’s sold-out show storming the O2 Arena last night.
Made In Lagos, arguably one of the best albums of the Nigerian singer had enjoyed so much success that Wizkid was performing the first of a three-night residency concert at the O2 Arena last night, 28th November, 2021.
He also made history last night by joining the likes of British top music group, Spice Girls who until recently held the record of selling out the O2 Arena in under 13 minutes.
On the contrary, as the fans were thrilled to some pulsating and scintillating performances, there were other fans who caused mayhem at the entrance.
A spokesperson for the O2 addressed the incident and told The Independent: ‘This evening, a breach of the security cordon on the arena entrance occurred and as a result, a number of fans in the queue were able to enter the venue. The situation was quickly contained by staff and the incident was resolved.

However, it has emerged that after that ensuing chaos which occurred, leaving the staff of the O2 Arena helpless, management has assured public safety and is currently reviewing security procedures for his second and third performances within the week.
‘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 night was a great moment as stars like Chris Brown, performed for the first time in eleven years.
