The Chairman of Cubana Group, Obinna Iyiegbu, better known as Obi Cubana, has finally addressed the shooting that took place at one of his clubs, Club Cubana, in Victoria Island, Lagos State.

Popster, Burna Boy’s police escorts were alleged to have shot and wounded two patrons of the club­, Lawrence and Tolu,­ in the early hours of Wednesday, June 8, 2022.

Cubana has reacted after the issue trended again on Monday, June 20 2022 on the Micro-blogging, Twitter after the said lady shared her side of the story, adding that Obi Cubana only reached out to them four days after the incident and had yet to release a close circuit tv footage or press statement on the issue.

Obi Cubana, reacting to the incident, claimed the management has given all information to the legal authorities to “handle all”.

He also said he sympathises with “those who may have been impacted” by the incident.

On his Instagram page on Monday, Obi Cubana wrote, “As regards the issues making rounds the social media, we at Cubana Group have given all information at our disposal to the legal authorities.

“However, we wholeheartedly sympathise with any/all those who may have been impacted by this. I and our group would never compromise standards, as we have confidence in the authorities to handle all. Best regards.”

The Lagos State Police Commissioner’s Special Squad has detained five policemen attached to the singer, Damini Ogulu, aka Burna Boy, for attempted murder after shooting the fun-seekers.
