Drinker stabs barman for looking at him, girlfriend in lagos
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.
The charge reads, “That you, Kelvin Friday, 25, on
October 21, 2014 at about 6pm at Obokun
Avenue, Ojodu in the Ikeja Magisterial District
unlawfully used a bottle on the head and face of
one Simeon Tenebe and inflicted injuries, to wit
grievous harm and thereby committed an offence
punishable under Section 243 (1) Vol. 44, No. 2
Law of Lagos State, 2011.”
Akinde admitted the defendant to bail in the sum
of N100, 000 with two sureties in like sum.
“The sureties must present evidence of tax
payment, means of livelihood and deposit N20,
000 to the account of the chief registrar. Their
addresses must also be verified by the
