Nigerian Afrobeats star Asake has expressed deep sorrow following the tragic incident at his December 20 concert in Nairobi, which claimed the life of Karen Lojore
Taking to Instagram, he wrote:
“I am devastated by the tragic incident that took place at the festival on Dec 20th in Nairobi. My heart goes out to the family, friends, and loved ones of Karen Lojore, and I pledge to support and do my best to understand what happened. Those responsible should be held accountable. Music has always been my way of sharing love and joy, and it breaks my heart that anyone had to experience such loss. My thoughts are with everyone grieving, and I pray that Karen rests in peace. God Bless Kenya.”
Asake’s message comes amid widespread shock and calls for better event safety and crowd management. Karen Lojore, reportedly with a valid ticket, was caught in a crowd crush near the stadium entrance and later pronounced d3ad at a hospital.
The incident has prompted demands for accountability, with both the singer and event organizers pledging full cooperation with authorities to investigate the tragedy and prevent similar occurrences in the future.
