Background of the Incident
The electrocution happened while Black Sherif was performing at UMaT in Tarkwa. Reports suggest that inadequate safety measures and poor event planning may have contributed to the incident.
During his performance, Black Sherif noticed two fans who were electrocuted, with one being in critical condition. Upset by the situation, he decided to end his performance abruptly and leave the venue.
A viral video shows Black Sherif walking directly to his car, despite requests from fans and organizers for him to stay and continue.
This unexpected exit left many fans, who had waited six hours for the show, worried and disappointed.
However, the UMaT SRC has reassured the public that the fan is now in stable condition and that efforts are underway to address the safety issues that led to the incident.
