“In the early hours of the 12th of November 2016, an
unfortunate incident occurred between music act
Oritsefemi and a member of the security team at Club
Quilox.
The incident started at about 2am Saturday morning
when Oritsefemi came into Quilox without prior
reservations or table bookings. It is important to note
that tables are allocated to customers who have made
prior paid table bookings in advance of their arrival
except such customer is a patron or member of the club
and tables are allocated according to availability in
such case. However Oritsefemi who did not fall into
any of the categories above approached a patron and
after pleading was accommodated on patrons table,
but with the understanding that other guests of the said
patron were still been expected to join the table shortly
which Oritsefemi agreed to. It is important to note that
this is a table that could only accommodate a
maximum of six people.
In a surprising turn of events, Oristsemi who was
drinking from the patrons bottle, threw caution to the
wind by attempting to sit eight of his guests at the
table, the surprised Patron strongly rejected such
effrontery and invited the bouncer guarding the floor to
intervene .The bouncer politely approached Oritsefemi
and told him that the Patron who owned the table did
not want any of Oritsefemi’s guest joining in as the
patrons guests were still being expected. However
Oristefemi in a fit of unprovoked rage slapped the
bouncer then proceeded to breaking a glass in his hand
and stabing him in the eye. Despite his position or the
power he thinks he has as a celebrity, this is not an
excuse for inflicting grave bodily harm on another
human being.
The scene quickly became rowdy as other customers
rushed to the table and confronted the artist for his
violent behavior, our security team quickly stepped in
to salvage the situation by carrying Oristefemi out of
the club (this is our standard procedure for violent
altercations) while other members of staff focused on
giving First aid treatment to the bouncer who almost
lost his eye and had already lost so much blood.
Oristefemi faced by an enraged crowd outside and
perhaps realizing the gravity of his offense pretended to
collapse. The artist and the bouncer were subsequently
rushed to a nearby hospital
The bouncer affected insisted on pressing charges as
thus he and Oritsefemi went from the hospital Bar
Beach police station, where Oritsefemi accepted his
offense and pleaded for mercy, he was granted bail at
12pm on the 13th of November and advised to report
back to the station on Tuesday 15th of November 2016.
We were hesitant to release a press statement as
several well meaning people have attempted to
intercede on behalf of the artist but after his malicious
and grossly false account of the events that occured, it
is only fair that we defend the integrity and ethos of
our organization.
IMPORTANT POINTS TO NOTE ARE
– Quilox is the number one luxury lifestyle brand in
Nigeria, all areas of our establishment are premium as
thus the allegation of denying access of certain people
to certain areas is completely unfounded. this
particular issue happened on a table of six at the
upstairs part of the club not in the entire VIP area.
– Quilox treats all our patrons with the utmost respect
and dignity, our professionalism and uncompromising
customer service is what has kept us at the peak for so
long, the poorly worded statement by Oritsefemi’s
media team claiming our CEO made derogatory
remarks towards our loyal clientele(A list celebrities) is
reasons best known to him, because instead of taking
responsibility for his actions, him and his management
are looking for artists support, and to what cause?
– Club Quilox did not press charges against the artist
despite his unruly behavior at our establishment,
however the bouncer in question has signified his
intention to pursue his fundamental human rights due
to the grave bodily harm that befell him.
– The music industry veteran – Sound Sultan is a
member of the Quilox family and cousin to our CEO as
thus it is impossible for him to be treated in the manner
Oritsefemi implied, as a matter of fact he was one of
those who quickly diffused the situation before it got
out of hand
– Club Quilox prides itself on the premium luxury
lifestyle experience we provide our patrons, we abhor
violence and do not support or condone any such acts
on our premises.
– Oristefemi did not report ANY missing jewelry in his
statement at the Bar beach Police Station neither did he
make any reports to the management of Club Quilox
Attached are graphic pictures and a video of the
bouncer Oritsefemi assaulted and also a picture of
Oritefemi at the hospital before he was taken to the
police station, with the said weapon included.
We thank our members and patrons for their
unrelenting loyalty and custom as we assure them of
their continued safety and comfort at Club Quilox
