With the handle @nemebriella, Stephanie noted that she was with her partner and some friends in the VIP section of the club when the shooting happened.
Stephanie said, “We were visiting Nigeria from America and London for our childhood friend’s wedding.
“On the 8th of June 2022, @burnaboygram & his friends opened fire at us in @cubanalagos.”
According to her, “My partner and his friend were shot, with both needing urgent medical care.
“A bullet grazed my partners head and our friend was shot in the thigh, leaving him hospitalised and needing an emergency surgery in Nigeria.”
Stephanie explained that they were about twenty having a nice time in the VIP section before Burna Boy arrived with his friends.
She said trouble started when one of Burna Boy’s friends approached her on behalf of Burna.
Stephaine said, “As the night progressed, one of Burna Boy’s friends walked to talk to me, his request was for Burna Boy to talk to me.
“On that first attempt, I told him I wasn’t interested in talking to Burna Boy and I am married to my partner.
“He came again the second time and was met with the same response.”
Stephaine explained that his return the third time eventually caused a few of her friends “to flare up as they asked why he kept coming to disturb me.”
She said “there were words back and forth and one of Burna Boy’s friends attacked one of our friends, and as they attacked him, the situation degenerated into a fight.”
According to her, the club security men stepped in and were able to calm nerves during the first fight which ensured fun-seekers got back to making merry.

She said as things slowly eased, trouble broke out again when two of Burna’s friends started another fight which called the attention of the security again.
Stephanie noted that as fighting continued, “Burna Boy’s friends started shooting after what looked like a signal from Burna Boy.”
“At this point the club was in chaos, everyone was screaming and trying to vacate the premises”, she said.
She explained that she was screaming for help after she was “lifted and thrown so hard on the floor by one of Burna’s friends.
She said she hurt her left shoulder in the process.
According to her, while the chaos continued, she could neither find her partner nor her best friend.
Stephanie noted that she and her friends were left to fight alone as their private security was not allowed in while entering the club.
“One of our friends @theflowolf was trying to get Burna Boy to calm the situation but he only laughed at him and proceeded to get in his car whilst being protected by his security,” Stephanie noted.
She noted that “The shootings happened twice at different times. His friends were also shooting at people trying to evacuate the club through the main entrance.
“They were out to kill and didn’t care who got hit. My partner’s head was bleeding profusely and his friend lost so much blood he needed a donor As soon as he got to the hospital.”
Stephaine noted that Burna Boy left the club unhurt and flew out to Spain the next morning.
She said club owner, Obi Cubana reached out to her and her friends four days after the event “claiming he had no idea and would do everything to get us justice for attempted murder.
“11 days later, there has been no CCTV footage released by the club OR even a statement to address the incident publicly. The business has carried on as usual for him.”
She said even after she left the club for safety, she was again accosted by the same guy who initially approached her on behalf of Burna.
According to her, he “reached into his bottoms to get something resembling a gun.
She said she got lucky as her “friends found me and pulled me away just in time.”
Stephanie summed things up by saying, “I’m traumatised. I’ve broken down every day since then. The random flashbacks and nightmares. Especially after seeing @burnaboygram’s response.
“The lack of remorse or accountability is beyond me. At least two people could’ve died that night,” she said.
