A friend to the family of the lady who was electrocuted at the Hustle and Bustle club co-owned by businessman and socialite popularly known as Obi Cubana, has taken to twitter to narrate the incident.
The club and restaurant is located at the Aminu Kano Crescent area of Wuse, Abuja,
Recall that the victim identified as Susan went clubbing on Saturday night and was reportedly electrocuted by a metal on the floor of the clubhouse.
The friend who was said to be the victim’s brother’s friend, narrating the incident on his Twitter page @KhalidOshoke, accused the management of the club of not going with Susan to the hospital or reporting the incident to the police.
He tweeted, “My friend called me to tell me that his sister died at Hustle and Bustle early this morning. I quickly drove to the premises and I met my friend, friends of the deceased and employees of the Hustle and Bustle at the venue.
“My friend’s sister died on the premises and the manager is sleeping; we are still here waiting for him to wake up from his beauty sleep.”
The Twitter user, who later tweeted that the family had been given access to the CCTV footage, noted that the matter has been reported to the police.
“Manager is finally here and we’ve seen the footage and she was obviously electrocuted by one of the metals on the floor.
“We’re all gathered at the police station and the management of Hustle and Bustle sent their facility manager to represent them. Not only did they not report the case, they didn’t accompany the deceased who died on their premises to the hospital. It took the manager seven hours to respond,” he wrote.
Following the post, Nigerians have asked the late Susan’s family to sue the club and also called on the government to shut down the facility.
Meanwhile, the management of the club, in a statement posted on its Instagram page on Monday, announced the closure of the facility till further notice.
The statement read in part, “We’re closed till further notice. This is due to the loss of our esteemed client. We are deeply saddened by this situation and need time to heal from it.
“Our prayers are with the families of the lost soul; may her soul rest in peace. We sympathize with the family on this unbearable loss.”
The FCT police spokesperson, DSP Josephine Adeh, said investigation was ongoing, adding that the police would conduct an autopsy on the corpse.
She said, “The case was reported to the police. This is a case of sudden and unnatural death, which investigation is going on. We are going to carry out an autopsy to determine the cause of death. I cannot tell you the cause of the death now until the investigation and autopsy are completed.”
