Onimole Babatunde, former councilor of Amuwo-Odofin Local Government Area of Lagos State is in detention for allegedly stabbing a teenage girl in the neck after she refused his advances at a night club.

 Babatunde who is in custody at the Area E Police Command, Festac, Lagos attacked Mariam Abubakar, 18, on October 26 at the Pearl Habour Night Club in Rochester Garden Hotel, Festac, reports claim.

Her friend, who pleaded anonymity, said they only went there “to hang out” when a drunk man 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, the man, 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.

Berem, that club is owned by an igbo, is it not?

and so what if its owned by an igbo? How many hotels and nightclubs do yorubas have in festac town? Do you know how much those hotels pay as tax to the local government? was it the owner of the hotel that told the councillor to stab the girl? Abeg am not ready for any tribal bashing if that's where you are driving at.
