A Nigerian man has narrated how he was beaten to a stupor for challenging the racist behaviour of bouncers at a club in Germany.
Read his account below.
“ My friends and I (three male People of Colour) stood in front of the Rudas Studios Club in Düsseldorf last Saturday, July 16th, 2022 at around 1:00 a.m.
One of my friends reserved a VIP table in advance with confirmation from the boss. Nevertheless, we were turned away by security at the entrance who told us “This is not a black club.” (btw. Afrobeats was playing that evening)
When we tried to explain verbally why we weren’t being let in just because of the colour of our skin, the bouncers got violent with my two friends. When I wanted to intervene, I was beaten up and hospitalized by a total of five bouncers. Today I am in the hospital with a double broken jaw, two broken teeth and more bruises all over my body. Also mine
Friends carry injuries with them.
We demand that this club bear the consequences.
Please share my story!”
