According to the folks at Punch Metro, a barman, who works in a hotel located on Obokun Avenue,
in the Ojodu area of Lagos, is battling with wounds he sustained during
an ‘unprovoked’ attack by a customer who accused him at looking too
intently at his girlfriend! It was gathered that the alleged attacker, identified
as Kelvin Friday, a resident of Ojodu-Abiodun, Ogun State, allegedly
stabbed the barman, who he accused of staring at him and his girlfriend.
Friday and his girlfriend, whose name had yet to be ascertained, had
gone to drink in the hotel around 6pm on October 21, when the incident
happened.
The victim, Simeon Tenebe, claimed he was brooding on an issue he
had discussed with his sister earlier in the day when the 25-year-old
man confronted him. He added that Friday interpreted his stare for
rebuke and challenged him to a scuffle. Friday reportedly smashed the bottle
of beer he was drinking on the barman, inflicting injuries on his face
and head. His girlfriend, it was learnt, fled the scene when Tenebe
started bleeding.
Prior to the incident, it was said that Friday had accused the
barman of being unpleasant while attending to him and his
girlfriend. Our correspondent also gathered that Tenebe reported the
incident to the police, who arrested the suspect and charged him to an
Ikeja Magistrate’s Court for assault.
