Police make arrests as Marlians create nuisance at Marlian Fest

Videos have surfaced showing fans of singer Naira Marley who are popularly known as Marlians causing confusion at Marlian Fest.

The Marlian Fest event which held on December 30th saw a huge turnout of crowd with the entire premises of Eko Hotels and Suites filled up.

However, many of those who came for the show didn't have tickets to gain entrance into the main hall. These began creating nuisance in the premises leading to police intervention.

Those who were arrested were placed inside a Black Van as police struggled to enforce order at the venue.

Men of the Lagos Environmental Sanitation Corp were also on ground and even had to make arrests.

Watch the videos below.

Eko Hotel for #MarlianFest??
Naira Marley's show organizers made a costly mistake on this one tbh...
Instead of having open field concert in Energy City or National Stadium...
Marley doesn't understand his influence yet????????

You should not hide under the word 'Marlian' to act stupid. You have gotten yourself arrested now your poor parents who have been saving up the little they have for the new year will now use the money to come bail you. Some of You are overdoing this Marlian thing. #MarlianFest
