Drama As VIP Stand Collapses During #NativeLand19 Concert
Concertgoers have taken to social media to express their disappointment with the organisers of the much-talked-about Native Land 19 concert held in Lagos night.
Apparently, the everything seemingly was going well until singer Fireboy DML took to the stage to perform his hit single, and the VIP stand, which reportedly was overcrowded, collapsed, injuring many people and triggering a stampede.
Witnesses at the scene claimed there were no medical personnel to help those who got injured, and security refused to let the agitated concertgoers out, until hours later.

Emma Balogun@emsiebeeeFuck you #NATIVELAND19. Finally got my sons home safely only to hear of kids in hospital due to your recklessness and greed. Gate fell on their school friends. Another friend was beaten by the police.

MBF@LiveLoveLamsI saw people get stamped on just to get in. Security was tasering everyone at the VIP entrance…VIP! The stage collapsed and everyone ran for their lives. People having panic attacks all around me #NATIVELAND19
MBF@LiveLoveLamsPeople jumping over fences and breaking their legs just to get out. Because security wouldn’t let anyone in or out. So many people bleeding. Phones & money stolen… shoes lost. I can’t even
