FOLLOWING A RUMORED CRUSH DURING AN ASAKE CONCERT IN BRIXTON, FOUR PEOPLE ARE IN SEVERE CONDITION.

Eight people were injured, including four who are in a critical condition, after an apparent crowd crush at a concert at the O2 Academy Brixton in London.
The Metropolitan police launched an investigation into what they said was an “extremely distressing” incident at a performance by the Nigerian Afrobeats singer and songwriter Asake.
The artist, whose London concert dates sold out within minutes when tickets went on sale in September, said he was praying for those injured amid claims hundreds of people entered without tickets.
Police were called to the venue in south London at about 9.35pm on Thursday after reports that a large number of people were attempting to force entry. They found a number of people with “injuries believed to have been caused by crushing”.
Of the eight people taken to hospital, four are still in a critical condition. Two more people were treated for minor injuries at the scene.
Writing on Instagram, Asake said: “My heart is with those who were injured last night and caused any form of discomfort. I pray you get well soonest.
“I am also in the process of reaching out to individuals. I still do not have the full brief from the venue management themselves as to what led to the disruption at the entrance of the Brixton Academy, but we are thankful that all was peaceful at the end.
