Silly! Man Stabs Barman For Staring At Girlfriend

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.
