Ex-councillor stabs teenager for refusing 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 advances at a night club.

On October 26, Mariam Abubakar (pictured above) 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 said, “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.”

According to the source, Babatunde fled the scene immediately.
A police source at Area E told our correspondent that the preliminary report obtained indicated that the incident occurred at about 1:30am. He said Abubakar bled profusely at the scene before she was taken to Naval Hospital, Ojo by sympathisers at the night club.

The source said she was not admitted because those who took her there could not produce a police report.
“That was when someone notified our station (Area E Command) and we went to take her to Ajeromi General Hospital,” he said.

It was learnt that as Abubakar was being taken to the general hospital, she went into a coma.
She was said to have been revived at the general hospital. A nurse at the hospital, who craved anonymity, told our correspondent that she had lost about 20 per cent of her blood.

Abubakar is currently under intensive care at the hospital.

However, the police said the night club workers destroyed evidence at the scene of the alleged crime by cleaning up Abubakar’s blood on the floor.

The hotel has currently been sealed off by the police because the management did not report the incident.
It was learnt that the police got wind of Babatunde’s whereabouts, said to be holing up somewhere in Ikoyi and called him to simply come and write a statement. But he was detained immediately he got to the station.
The police spokesperson, Ngozi Braide, said she had not been briefed on the case.

I hope she comes out safely. This is honestly why I avoid clubs. People become so violent!

WAIT..."The source said she was not admitted because those who took her there could not produce a police report."

What kind of fuckry is this? Its 2012 for goodness sake. Any hospital that doesn't treat emergency patients should be shut down and the Doctors have their practicing license withdrawn. I swear I hate Nigeria, the govt can't even get shit right, the judiciary won't prosecute offenders even though the law exists, this lady could have died. Wtf?

Instead idiots like Rochas are busy shutting down 'nudity' clubs. Misplaced priorities.

Stupid heartless man! How can a former councilor behave like that . He must not go free. Seems like he must have been forcefully sleeping with girls in the past.
The worst part of it is that, in a few years , babatunde would come out to contest again despite his criminal background!

Sad sad sad!What surprises me now is that even up till now, hospitals still reject accident victims without a police report, what the logic of this procedure is is beyond my understanding. You are bleeding to death, go to a police station and write a report before coming to the hospital, what right thinking society accepts this..gosh This matter they tay person ooo!

1. Dude was allegedly drunk, but fled the scene after stabbing the poor girl? Go figure.
2. The police should've been at the crime scene earlier if they so needed the evidence, & not blame the hoteliers for cleaning up the mess.
4. Good job sealing the club/hotel for not reporting the incident. They could not only be charged for destruction of evidence, but also for complicity in the crime. Crime fighting is the responsibility of every citizen, not just the police.
3. Hope the law takes its full course; the contemptible scoundrel should go to jail.

It is obvious that morality has taken flight from this nation what is an 18years old girl doing in club at 1pm when her nmates are ether in campus studying late or her in church observing night Virgil if at 18 she believes that she has com of age then she has to bare the consequence of her action. next time she will remain indoors at that time.

This is sad! What. If she had died? Thank God the idiot has been arrested. Young girls should always be accompanied by an older male;brother or friend especially at night.

Hi linda, pearlharbor is a night club and rochester garden is an hotel and they are situated beside each other but sepperate buildings, just wanted to set that fact straight. Men tend to misbehave when they drink and dis is an example of what alcohol can do to the system.

If this allegation is true, I in no way condone the action of this man but WHY WOULD AN 18-YEAR OLD GIRL GO TO A NIGHT CLUB TO "CATCH WEEKEND FUN"? What treatment was she expecting to receive in an environment where the men are high on alcohol and cigar?

Anon 2.20 your comment is extremely moronic in nature..even if she's a call girl no man has a right to be physically abusive to any woman for refusing his overtures..by the way an 18 year old girl is considered old enough to date by most of you guys making comments about what she's doing out so late, which is highly irrelevant as its obvious that even if she was 40 the pig headed "politician" would still have been arrogant enough to stab her...

Paul Ojeih u r a big fool, u holier than thou moron. A grown man decides to act like a hooligan and instead of condemning his actions u open ur maggot infested mouth and blame d poor innocent girl who just decided to hv fun. Her idea of fun was jus hanging out in a nite club wtout necessarily having to go home wt anyone and at 18 she's an adult and can decide wat she wants. People like u r d ones that cleaned off d blood to conceal any evidence. I bet u dnt even knw wt morals mean. I'm so pissed cos I found myself in d same situation once, bt thank God I was in d company of my older siblings.I bet ur younger ones r even worse off @ a more tender age...

At 18,a child is considered an adult and covered by d full protection of d law!Married men r so brazen these days when they approach single ladies. Look at d level of disrespect? An old pedophile picks up a bottle,breaaks it and stabs a girl who did nothing to him on d neck! May God curse this man for the rest of his life!

Straightfromlasgidi said...

The issue here is not that the 18 year old went to the club but that she was stabbed by the so called councillor. That she's 18 does not mean she's not allowed to go out if she pleases cos she's an adult. That so called councillor should be made to face the law (that's if he would) and I pray she recovers quickly.

Best comment. Atleast with a guy brother or bf . I wonder why 18yrs will be bold enough to be out with another 18yrs at midnight. Girls should learn from this. Me as a guy sometime I prefer to be at the club with 3 or more pals for security reasons bcos we know night clubs are not churches or mosques. For lame people who don't know what goes on in night clubs let me mention a few for u.

In night clubs apart from the drinking and dancing you think ,drug experimenting,sales,armed robbers,rapists,abusers,hard criminals,kidnappers,prostitutes in connection with barons,assassins ,rebels, etc. so be prepared don't lose guard at all becos night clubs are not what you think.

@ Anon 9:00pm when I started reading your comment, it made a lot of sense,but when I got to the stage you said "if she had died she will go to hell" is very wrong,don't judge her action,u really can't tell u know, rada still pray for her health.

Anonymous said...

Let me state categorically, that there is no reason whatsoever for a man to touch a lady without her permission. Not to talk of assaulting her, even if she's ur girlfriend or wife.

I had a similar experience at CHOICES in Enugu state. And the young man in question was not drunk but he felt he had the right to grab any lady and she must not refuse him.

This is the mindset of most people these days, we throw caution to the wind and blame the victim for being at the crime scene. When we all know that anywhere can be a crime scene.

Do not give excuses for a man who should know better. Every man should know dat no matter what u think u have attained in life, not every girl is interested in ur advances. Women are not animals, pls don't treat them as one.

Men should learn how to control themselves and women suld remind men in their lives of its importance.

You won't tell me becos u saw a woman in bikini at the beach or swimming pool, u couldn't control urself and u assaulted or raped her???
There is NO EXCUSE for assaulting a lady even if she is a prostitute.

I'm glad the Nigerian Police swooped into action on this case cos the Councillor and the hotel management were clearly wrong.
