Moment before the mishap which was captured in a now viral video shared on X on Monday, Ola of Lagos was seen expressing his gratitude to the crowd for their turn out while expressing his love for the Igbos as he concluded his address.
“Me no Yoruba boy but I get big love for Igbo. Igbo Kwenu! All of us we be one. Abi no be so? I just want to use this opportunity to thank una for coming out for Barrister Deo Kalu. He is really a good man to me and to all of us.
“Thank you so much for welcoming the Yoruba boy to your town. You will love it.” He said.
The stage would then collapse with everyone on the platform crashing alongside it just as Ola of Lagos handed over the microphone.

The incident equally left the crowd in shock with his fans extending their prayers and well wishes to the team.
