While it ended in joy for some, attending this year Marlian fest was a decision that ended in tears for others.
Two disturbing videos have surfaced on social media giving an insight into how the fest went.
For those that choose to monitor on Twitter, they felt it was the right choice they made.
I heard that One Marlin was crying saying please don't take me i just want to make mama proud ????????????

First, it all began with a video showing people scale the fence in order to attend the event. Lots of people participated in this seemingly innocent act.

Sadly, a few of them were caught.
Shortly after, a cry out by @Robostar10 surfaced on Twitter.

However, the police man pictured in the frame was taking no prisoners and unlike Wizkid who responded to an anonymous call during his own concert, Naira Marley was nowhere to be found.
Even after the concert was over.
MyNigeria gathered these few reactions from the concert.
Senior marlians will take Junior Marlians phones home today ????????#MarlianFest

@VictorIsrael_ gave a word of advice
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

And the sad reality of doing crossover in a prison cell
So some Marlian will spend crossover night in Kiri Kiri for Soapy 2.0 video shoot like this
