Popular artiste and “Double Wahala” crooner, Oritsefemi was beaten heavily and injured by bouncers at Quilox night club, Victoria Island.
His musical label, MSN Gang has now released an official statement on the incident.
The statement reads below:
“On Friday 11th 2016, at exactly 2am at Quilox Night Club, Oritsefemi was attacked by a bouncer just because he was trying to stand for an older Colleague and a friend.
According to his Management, the Double Wahala & Ongba Larami singer was at Quilox on Friday trying to ease off stress with his friends at the VIP corner of the said club when he noticed a senior colleague and a brother, Sound Sultan and Rock Steady were been bounced from entering the VIP section of the club. Oritse Femi who was not happy with the bouncers behaviour stood up to ask the bouncer why he was putting up such attitude to an A-list artiste and a brother. The bouncer replied that an order was placed down by Shina Peller, the CEO of the club, that no A-list Artist should be allowed into the VIP section, claiming the A-list artistes were not his costumers and they have no value at his club, just because of his rift with Davido [Does that make any sense at all]. After which, the bouncer told him to keep to his section or go join his colleagues at the regular section, Femi who we all know to be a very humble and calm person, accepted the offer to join his colleague at the regular section but was pushed back by the bouncer, before he could say Jack, the other bouncer was already rough handling him.
Oristefemi, who was holding a cup of wine had to defend himself by slapping the bouncer with the wine cup which gave the bouncer a scar on the face.
Without waiting for explanation the other Bouncers in the club came in and attack Oristefemi and in d process of the attack Oristefemi’s 8.5million Naira worth of jewellery was stolen by the club bouncers, before the crowd will stand up to protest against the club bouncers attitude Oristefemi was already injured, Even with the injury he was held down by the bouncer s and the management of the club claiming they were waiting for the arrival of Police.’’
A video capturing the event saw the club security officials drag off the artiste while people present at the once drama free nightclub echoed that he be released.
