Two people have been feared dead following a violent attack at the car park of Filmhouse Cinemas IMAX in the Lekki area of Lagos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The incident reportedly occurred in the early hours of Saturday, creating a tense situation at the cinema premises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Filmhouse management confirmed the incident in a statement released later in the day, acknowledging that an attack had taken place at its Lekki facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to reports, a man armed with a cutlass attacked a security personnel of the organisation and another individual at the premises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The circumstances surrounding the incident remain unclear, while the motive of the attacker has not been confirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was gathered that the victims resisted the attacker during the incident and prevented him from gaining entry into the cinema facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The attack reportedly took place at the car park of the Filmhouse IMAX premises, rather than inside the cinema facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Filmhouse management’s confirmation of the incident came later on Saturday as details surrounding the attack continued to emerge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The identities and conditions of those involved were not provided in the information available at the time of reporting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
