An Ikeja Magistrates’ Court in Lagos on Wednesday reserved May 18 for
judgment in a case involving a drunk, Sunday Micheal, who confessed to
stabbing nine customers with a broken bottle in an hotel. The
magistrate, Mr A.A Adesanya, remanded Micheal, 24, in Kirikiri Prison
after he had pleaded guilty to the allegation. Micheal, a vulcaniser of
No. 53, Oshodi Road, Mafoluku in Oshodi, Lagos State , was arraigned on a
two-count charge of a breach of peace and assault. The prosecutor,
Insp. George Nwosu, said that the accused committed the offences on
April 3 at Marina Hotel, Alagbado, a suburb of Lagos. He said that the
accused assaulted one Wasiu Adenekan by beating and stabbing him with a
broken bottle. “The accused stabbed the victim all over his body with a
broken bottle,” he said. Nwosu said that the accused also caused a
breach of the peace by chasing away the hotel’s customers with a broken
bottle. “There was a night-show at the hotel and, suddenly, the accused
who was drunk started chasing viewers with a broken bottle. “Everybody
started running helter-skelter for their lives, but he succeeded in
stabbing eight customers with a broken bottle. “The accused also pursued
the complainant; the complainant fell and the accused caught up with
him and stabbed him severally all over his body. “Blood gushed out from
the complainant’s body and he fainted, he is still lying critically at a
general hospital,” he said. The prosecutor said that the accused also
damaged 28 plastic chairs and tables as well as five crates of empty
bottles, all valued at N47,400. The offences, Nwosu said, contravened
Sections 166 and 171 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011. Section
171 prescribes a three-year jail term as penalty for offenders.
