Following the incident at IMAX Cinemas, Lekki, in the early hours of Saturday, where a man reportedly wielding a machete and knife stormed the premises, killing a security guard and injuring another, Filmhouse Group has said it is working with relevant authorities investigating the incident.
The group also said it was taking additional precautionary measures across its locations.
“Filmhouse Group is deeply saddened by a security incident that took place outside the premises, in the car park of one of our locations, in the early hours of this morning. The incident was unrelated to our regular operations,” the company said in a statement.
According to eyewitnesses, the assailant, who appeared to be under the influence of drugs, became violent after he was prevented from entering the premises.
Spokesperson of the Lagos State Police Command, SP Adebisi Abimbola, confirmed the incident, saying the suspect allegedly stabbed one of the security guards to death and injured another security personnel during the attack.
