A woman recounted a harrowing experience during a violent attack at Filmhouse Cinemas IMAX in Lekki, Lagos, where she and other moviegoers were allegedly held hostage for about an hour. The incident, which occurred on Saturday, resulted in two deaths after a machete-wielding assailant attacked a security officer and another person. Witnesses described being forced into bathrooms by armed attackers who swung weapons indiscriminately, including stabbing one man. The victim died after passers-by attempted to remove a knife from his chest, believing it might save his life. The woman criticized the lack of emergency infrastructure and delayed security response, noting that no one knew how to properly handle the injury. The attacker later reportedly identified the slain man as his intended target. Filmhouse condemned the attack and stated an investigation was underway.
