Since when did love become a do-or-die affair? A former councillor of
Amuwo-Odofin Local Government Area of Lagos State, Onimole Babatunde, is
currently being detained at the Area E Police Command, Festac, Lagos
for allegedly stabbing an 18-year-old girl in the neck after she refused
his love advances at a night club.
On
October 26, the teenage girl, Miss Mariam Abubakar, went to Pearl
Habour Night Club in Rochester Garden Hotel, Festac to “catch weekend
fun.”
Her friend, who pleaded anonymity, said they only went
there “to hang out” when Babatunde, who was obviously drunk, started to
make advances to Abubakar. “She was not interested in him so she did not
answer when he called her. He was dancing and Mariam (Abubakar) was
sitting at a table. He was obviously drunk and he came to pull her.
“He
was manhandling her and she insisted he should leave her alone. This
did not go down well with Babatunde and he was really angry. He went to a
corner, took a bottle, broke it and stabbed Mariam in the neck,” she
said.
A source told the Punch that Babatunde fled the scene
immediately. Miss Mariam bled profusely at the scene before she was
taken to Naval Hospital, Ojo by sympathisers at the night club. Abubakar
is currently under intensive care at the hospital as she was said to
have lost about 20% of her blood.
However, the hotel has
currently been sealed off by the police because the management did not
report the incident. The police also said the night club workers
destroyed evidence at the scene of the alleged crime by cleaning up Miss
Mariam's blood on the floor.
