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.

What was a small girl like this going to do at a hotel or night club? No body should blame the man at all it is the girl's fault to go there..... Kalu
ReplyDeleteYes we do agree with what u just said. As a 18yrs old girl she shouldn't have gone to night club but in the other hand, the man do not have the right to stab the young girl with a broken bottle. Wait, that is a Muslims name. So Muslim dey go night club? Eyes service religion.
ReplyDeleteYour sense is obviously on the floor
Delete18 years? Doing what at nigh club
ReplyDeleteOnly in naija 18yr old girl is still a child! She is an adult anywhere else naija wake up from ur old mind
DeleteThe poor girl can go anywhere she likes, maybe she needs to do runs to survive do u people know? Sexy Baby
ReplyDelete18yrs old girl is an adult under d law
ReplyDeleteSHE IS A PROSTITUTE BY GOING TO CLUB AT THIS AGE IDIOT.LET THE POLICE JAIL HER AFTER RECOVERING NONSENSE
ReplyDeleteSo u want to say that every lady or girl that goes to nightclub is a prostitute. abi.
DeleteTayo u no get sense at all! So every girl in d club is ashewo abi ok o go jail the girl son of a bitch like u bastard
DeleteWhat do you mean by eye service religion? Are muslims not human? Its better you keep your mouth shut if you know you have nothing reasonable to offer.
ReplyDeleteI won't want us to blame the girl per say! But what kind of parent does she have. Cos she ought to be with her parent at that kind of hour. No reasonable parent will ever allow dea daughter, a secondary school girl for that matter, to go to a nite club, what kind of nice time are they looking for, but at the same time, that does nt give the man an ordersity to stab her.
ReplyDeleteGet this In ur numb skull Nigerians,as soon as ur child turns 18Yrs,she is considered an adult and covered by all d protection d law has to provide.
ReplyDeleteThe right question shud have been,what is a married drunk councellor doing getting drunk and trying to pick up a girl younger tHan his own daughter? Is It an accepted norm for meN who r married to be committing adultery with different women and spreading all kinds of diseases cos they refuse to use protection when fucking tHese girls?Some men r a big disgrace and I pray this man rots in jail!
Thank u jare pls tell them.
DeleteOut f ol d jargons dt has been sed Dis is d only comment dts reasonable nd rational, nd its def cumin 4rm a matured mind.nancy
DeleteBoth the councillor and the prostitute that claimed to be 18 yrs old are guilty before the law.
ReplyDeleteThe duo needs to be tried and jailed.
The prostitute should be grateful to her God that she was not killed while hovering her body for sale.
Ashawo bastard
Does she not that going for a nite club involves risk?
Joseph
How is she guilty with your poverty mind! Is it a crime to go to a club and I know u know
DeleteAshewo bastard joseph bcos ur mama na ashewo so u are quick to recognise one useless idiot
They should throw the book on this bastard ex-counsilor Omimole Babatunde bicos he has acted as an animal.He should be locked up 4 life bicos he does not belong to d society.The 18years girl have every right to enjoy her her self at any club bicos she's an adult.This is very tipical of most our yoruba men bicos they don't know how to respect women.Shame on this bastard 4 committing such a henious crime by disgracing our fellow yoruba men.I wish d young lady good luck.
ReplyDeleteTrue talk Rev.
DeleteIf u call a young girl who goes to a nite club with her friend to listen to good music and have a gud time a Prostitute,what do u call these old married men that forcfully attack them cos they refused to follow them?
ReplyDeleteThese men are Pedophiles whose name should be placed on a national sex offenders list!
Going 2 club 4 18yr old young lady is nt a crime and doesnt make her prostitute and even if she is,Nigeria is free a country,especially Lagos state is not a Sharia state.The so called councilor should be track down and jail 4 attempt to commit murder.Any law that permits a young man of 18yrs to go and have fun at club also allow any young lady to do the same.Let us ask ourselves a question,what if she is our daughter or little sister?what shall we do?the honest answer is what we should apply here.
ReplyDeleteRoland.
Som people can support rubbish. Who said an 18 yrs old girl is in secondary sch. We now ve people of age 16 at d university who r not leaving wit their parents. So how do d parents knw were dere children are? So she shud be stabbed bcos she went to club at age 18. Bull shit!
