Some fans of Naira Marley, popularly known as Marlians, caused pandemonium at the Eko Hotel in Victoria Island, Lagos last night after they reportedly tried to forcefully gain entrance into the #MarlianFest concert.
Eko Hotel was the venue of the singer’s concert tagged #MarlianFest.
It was gathered that trouble started when some Marlians tried to force their way into the venue of the concert without tickets.
Operatives of the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation and Special Offences Unit (Task Force) were said to have pounced on them and started arresting the fans for disrupting the concert.
Operatives of the Task Force were seen in viral videos arresting some of the fans and locking them in their waiting van.
n another video shared online, fans were seen running in different directions as they scamper for safety around the Hotel where the Marlian Fest was taking place.
Some Marlians who were also detained inside the Task Force’s ‘Black Maria’ were heard crying for help.
One of the fans who was detained inside the Black Maria shared a video of other fans being arrested by the Task Force and called on Naira Marley to come to their rescue.
