Ace musician, Oritsefemi Majemite-Ekele, popularly known as Oritsefemi, has denied the reports he stabbed a Quilox Night Club bouncer in Victoria Island, Lagos.
He disclosed in a telephone interview that an incident did take place last Friday nightOritsefemi, in a telephone interview with our correspondent, confirmed that an incident did take place last Friday night, November 11 at the Club, a plush celebrity hangout, as widely reported in the social media.
But what the singer failed to confirm was the claim that he assaulted a bouncer but instead was beaten up by the bouncers at the night club. It should be noted that Oritsefemi was speaking from Premier Specialist Hospital, Victoria Island to receive treatment for the beating he got.
“God is my witness. I did not stab any bouncer at Quilox Night Club. Those who know me will tell you that I am not a violent person and I have never been involved in any fracas in my life. What happened at the club was just an accident,” he said.
Admitting that he had an argument with a bouncer after his friends were denied entry into the VIP section of the night club, Oritsefemi said that he did not cut the man’s face with a broken glass as reported.
“During the argument, the bouncer suddenly pushed me and I lost balance. In anger, I wanted to pour my glass of wine on his face. As I tried to empty the content of the glass on him, he charged at me and the glass broke on his face, injuring him. I did not stab him. I have never stabbed anybody in my life.”
The artiste also said that while he was apologising to the bouncer, the other bouncers at the club descended on him and, without asking questions, beat him up.
Describing what happened next, the statement said, “Oritsefemi, in a fit of unprovoked rage, slapped the bouncer and then, breaking a glass in his hand, stabbed him in the eye.”
