Councilor Stabs Girl For Refusing His Love Advances

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.
