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.
It was 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.
