Naira Marley’s Show In Dublin Turned Bloody ; Gang Brought Bombs, Hatchets, Knives

Naira Marley's Show In Dublin Turned Bloody ; Gang Brought Bombs, Hatchets, Knives
The Irish police, Gardaí are investigating a significant fracas involving up to 20 men who tried to gatecrash a popular Dublin nightspot after the Longitude festival on Saturday.

Nigerian singer Naira Marley was scheduled to play at the nightspot, according to a report by Dublin Live. A number of other acts and DJs were also part of the line-up on the night.

The incident unfolded at Lost Lane just off Grafton Street before Marley took to the stage to perform.

"A video seen by Dublin Live shows up to 30 young men running out of the premises in the early hours of Sunday morning, with revellers of the adjoining pub looking on in confusion.

"The scene remained closed off to the public this morning, and gardai have since confirmed that a number of weapons have been seized and a man in his 20s arrested in connection with the incident", Dublin Live reported.

An assortment of weapons including hatchets, knives and petrol bombs were found when the gang dispersed.

The incident occurred outside the Lost Lane venue, formerly Lillies Bordello, off Grafton Street in the south inner city shortly after 1am on Sunday.

Police believe the incident was connected with the Longitude Festival as a number of people who were at Longitude festival in Marlay Park, Rathfarham had gone to Lost Lane to continue socialising.

Gardaí further suspect the men who tried to rush the door of the venue had also been at the festival.

"Gardaí are treating the serious fracas as a spill over incident from Longitude. If the weapons found stashed around the Grafton Street area were linked to the men who tried to rush the door at Lost Lane, gardaí say that would confirm their suspicions the attempted gang attack was pre-planned", the Irish Times reported.

Before the three-day Longitude festival began last Friday, the US Department of State Bureau of Consular Affairs tweeted a security alert about the event aimed at US citizens in Ireland.

"Reports indicate a potential for violence at the Longitude Festival taking place from July 5-7 in Marlay Park," it said.

A security guard working at Lost Lane was injured and one man was arrested. However, gardaí believe significant violence was averted by the arrival of members of the force on the scene immediately as the trouble flared.

Grandson Of Awolowo, Seyi Was Used For MTN Advert #BBNaija2019
The choices of housemates by organizers of Big Brother Naija had caused controversy at the beginning of the show but the reactions from viewers have since reduced, and fans are enjoying the wild ride.

One of the 21 Big Brother Naija housemates, Seyi Awolowo, a medical doctor, and a grandson of the late former Premier of the defunct Western Region, Obafemi Awolowo, featured on a popular MTN banner advert which is currently running.

This has brought some views to the conclusion that BBNaija is for ready-made people who are marketable, people who Big Brother can invest in and earn a astounding profit.

Disney Channel star actor, Cameron Boyce died in his sleep

Disney Channel star actor, Cameron Boyce died in his sleep
Actor Cameron Boyce, known for his roles in the Disney Channel franchise "Descendants" and the TV show "Jessie," has died in his sleep. He was just 20 years old.

Boyce's death was confirmed to ABC News by his family Saturday night.

The cause of death was announced as due to "an ongoing medical condition."

"It is with a profoundly heavy heart that we report that this morning we lost Cameron," a spokesperson said on behalf of the Boyce family.

"He passed away in his sleep due to a seizure which was a result of an ongoing medical condition for which he was being treated. The world is now undoubtedly without one of its brightest lights, but his spirit will live on through the kindness and compassion of all who knew and loved him.

"We are utterly heartbroken and ask for privacy during this immensely difficult time as we grieve the loss of our precious son and brother."

According to ABC News, the young actor had dedicated himself to charity work in recent years, introducing former Vice President Joe Biden at his Biden Courage Awards in March, and he was honoured with the Pioneering Spirit Award at last year's Thirst Gala, sponsored by the Thirst Project, a nonprofit for which Boyce raised $30,000 to build wells for clean drinking water in Swaziland.

Boyce, who was from Los Angeles, made his acting debut in the horror film "Mirrors" at just nine years old. Two years later, he appeared in the blockbuster Adam Sandler flick, "Grown Ups," as one of Sandler's children.

He first achieved stardom as one of the leads in the Disney channel show, "Jessie." He starred as Luke Ross alongside the eponymous Jessie Prescott, played by Debby Ryan. "Jessie" ran for four seasons and 98 episodes.

Boyce's role in the "Descendants" films, which led cable TV film ratings in 2015 and 2017, catapulted him to even greater heights.

"From a young age, Cameron Boyce dreamed of sharing his extraordinary artistic talents with the world. As a young man, he was fuelled by a strong desire to make a difference in peoples' lives through his humanitarian work," said a Disney Channel spokesperson.

"He was an incredibly talented performer, a remarkably caring and thoughtful person and, above all else, he was a loving and dedicated son, brother, grandson and friend.

"We offer our deepest condolences to his family, cast mates and colleagues and join his many millions of fans in grieving his untimely passing. He will be dearly missed."

Boyce, who had 8.1 million followers on Instagram, had just posted a head shot of himself on Friday.

He was also set to appear as a series regular in HBO's new show, "Mrs. Fletcher," starring Kathryn Hahn, and the TV spinoff of the film "American Satan," called "Paradise City," about rock stars navigating the music industry.

Some said she can no longer afford the expensive bleaching cream. While others laughed at her for finally admitting she's been bleaching and not naturally light-skinned.
