HIGHNESS?? Drinker Stabs Barman For Looking At Him & His Girlfriend <See Photo>
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.
PUNCH Metro learnt that the alleged attacker, Kelvin Friday, a resident
of Ojodu-Abiodun, Ogun State, allegedly stabbed the barman, who he
accused of staring at him and his girlfriend.
It was gathered that 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.
The prosecutor, Inspector Chinalu
Uwadione, brought him before the Magistrate, Mrs. O.A. Akinde, on one count of
assault to which he pleaded not guilty.
Akinde admitted the defendant to
bail in the sum of N100, 000 with two sureties in like sum.
