Obidan Dela calls on Asake concert organisers to compensate family after fan’s death
By William Muthama, December 23, 2025Event entertainer Obidan Dela has reacted to the tragic death of a fan during Nigerian singer Asake’s concert held at Nyayo Stadium, Nairobi, calling on event organisers to compensate the bereaved family using proceeds from the show.
Speaking in a video shared on his Instagram page on Tuesday, December 23, 2025, Obidan Dela described the incident as unfortunate and raised concerns over crowd management at the event.
He questioned how the deceased, identified as Karen Lojore, who had a valid ticket, ended up losing her life during the concert.
According to Obidan Dela, responsibility should be taken by the event organisers, stressing that financial compensation, while it cannot replace a lost life, would serve as a form of accountability and support for the grieving family.
“Why did she end up being stamped? In solidarity with the family of Lojore and the other people who lost their lives, guys, the organisers of Organisers should own up to this mess. Actually, they should live and dedicate what they earned during that show to the family,” he insisted.
He further urged both the organisers and the artists involved to take the matter seriously, noting that safety should always be a priority at large-scale entertainment events.
The incident has sparked widespread reactions online, with many calling for improved safety measures at concerts and public events across the region.
Earlier, Asake released a statement expressing deep sorrow over the tragedy, offering condolences to the family of the deceased and calling for accountability as investigations continue.
Event organisers Tukutane Entertainment also confirmed the incident on Monday, December 22, 2025, and said they are fully cooperating with authorities, adding that they would refrain from speculation while investigations are ongoing.
