Drinker Stabs Barman For Looking At Him, Girlfriend (See PIC)

A barman, who works in a hotel located on Obokun Avenue, in the Ojodu area of Lagos, is battling with wounds he sustained when he was attacked by a customer. The alleged attacker, Kelvin Friday, a resident of Ojodu-Abiodun, Ogun State, stabbed the barman, because he was staring at him and his girlfriend. It was gathered that Friday and his girlfriend had gone to drink in the hotel around 6pm on October 21, when the incident happened. The victim, Simeon Tenebe, claimed he was thinking 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 staring wrongly and challenged him. Friday reportedly smashed the bottle of beer he was drinking on the barman. His girlfriend 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. Tenebe reported the incident to the police, who arrested the suspect and charged him to an Ikeja Magistrate’s Court for assault.
