“I wish to express my heartfelt condolences to Gabrielle’s family at this unimaginably difficult time.”
Recall that the concert which took place was canceled midway after fans, many of whom reportedly didn’t have tickers, tried gaining access into the venue by breaching the doors.
The police and other emergency service providers were called to the O2 Academy in Brixton at 9:35 pm following reports “that a large number of people were attempting to force entry to the venue.”
The stampede resulted in critical injury to four people while another four were also hospitalized.
Unfortunately, a mother-of-two, Ikumelo, passed away on Saturday from injuries at the crush.
Asake posted the sad development on his Twitter handle, expressing grief for the deceased and soliciting prayers for him.
