Nigerian artist Asake has paid tribute to the two victims – who died as a result of the chaos and stampede in London.
Recall that on December 20th, we reported that a mum of two, Rebecca Ikumelo, and a 23-year-old, Gabrielle Hutchinson lost their lives as a result of the crowd surge at the Asake show in London.
During a performance in Lagos on 22nd December, Thursday, Asake paused the show to pay an emotional tribute to the ladies.
In the viral video he told the crowd to stay silent as he expressed remorse and sympathy at the unfortunate demise of the two women.
Inside of me I feel pain for them. But may their souls rest in peace. Before we go on, I just want us to have a minute silence for them, for those who lost their lives in London, may God be with them.”
