Man bites off son's ear for supporting mom

There was confusion on Saturday in the Ebute Meta area of Lagos State after a truck loader, Udeme Inim, 30, allegedly bit off his stepson’s ear.

The incident happened around 11am on Asaka Street, off Abule-Nla Road, Ebute Meta West.It was gathered that there had been a disagreement between Inim and his wife, which had led to the suspect assaulting her.

Punch Metro learnt that when the victim, Christopher Bassey, intervened, Inim left his wife and attacked him.

In the ensuing scuffle, Inim, an indigene of Akwa Ibom State, was said to have gone for the teenager’s right ear and bit it off.


Our correspondent was told that the victim was rushed to a hospital shortly after he reported the matter to the Iponri Police Station, but his ear could not be saved.Our correspondent saw the ear in a transparent nylon after sighting the victim in the Ebute Meta area on Monday.The affected part was bandaged.He said,

    “On that day, he was fighting with my mum and at a point he began to destroy some of our property. It was too much for me to bear.
    “So I tried to stop him and that was when he attacked me and bit off my ear.”

The police arraigned Inim before a Magistrate’s Court on one count of assault.Inim said,

     “I am employed. I work with Cross Country Company as the manager. It was the police that gave me the clothes in their station; it is not my clothes.”

The Investigating Police Officer, Sergeant Dibia Godwin, told the court that Inim had entered the station stark naked.

     “He works as a loader with Cross Country. On that day, the victim had first come to the station to report; there was blood all over him, he had to be taken to the hospital.
    “Shortly after, he (Inim) also rushed in. He was stark naked. He said he wanted to report the same matter and we wondered how he could say he wanted to make a report after disfiguring somebody’s ear. We had to get something to put on him.”

Fani Kayode ran from APC because we refused to protect him from EFCC-Tinubu

Former Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu,has slammed former Minister of Aviation, Mr. Femi Fani-Kayode,accusing him of leaving the All Progressives Congress because the party refused to influence the EFCC to drop alleged money laundering charges against him.

Reacting to Kayode's claims that Tinubu would take over from Osibanjo as vice president ,if they win,the former governor said in a statement...

    “Bola Tinubu helped build the great platform for change; he wholeheartedly supports the APC ticket because he believes it is the last best hope to rescue Nigeria from the disaster Fani-Kayode and his ilk will want to continue.
    “I pray Nigerians will not allow them to misgovern us a day past May 29. If Fani-Kayode pretends not to know of Tinubu’s efforts to build and support the APC, it comes as no surprise. Fani-Kayode tried before to be part of the party but left when he found out there was no room for his games. Because the APC could not help to free him from the EFCC and the aviation fraud, he ran away to the party that blocked the EFCC on his behalf.”

“That Fani-Kayode is the best a ruling party can present as a spokesman speaks volumes about the PDP. They are bereft of talent and character. They are filled with lies and chicanery. Fani-Kayode is simply the worst and most outspoken of a bad lot. However, we welcome his interventions. They are of such low quality and base character. His utterances frighten people but not in the way Fani-Kayode intended.

    “Instead of scaring people away from the APC, his work scares people that someone so unfit is so close to the seat of power, someone so unhinged is given free rein to spit bile and call that public discourse. One must wonder who is unbalanced, the misfit or he who hires him. Keep at it Fani-Kayode. Continue!”

 “Fani-Kayode is not as smart as he thinks. If you read between the lines of his hysteria, you see another extreme sentiment: that of surging desperation. His statement indicates that even he now realises that his paymaster has lost to Buhari/Osinbajo.

    “The game is over. The whistle has blown. What the fantasy man seeks to do is change the game. He seeks to run against Tinubu in hopes the outcome will be better. Fani-Kayode now grasps at straws in the night wind.”

Tragedy struck in the Noforija, Epe area of Lagos State after a robbery gang stabbed to death a hotel manager, Oduwobi Olalekan.

The incident happened on Wednesday around 10pm in the 12/30 Hotel where the 40-year-old was a manager.It was learnt that the hotel is owned by a government official in the state.

Our correspondent learnt from an eyewitness and a resident, Semiu Abiodun, that the robbers had sneaked into the community without being seen by security men.

Punch Metro gathered that the hotel had an extension, which shared a fence with a building where Abiodun lived.The robbers were said to have hidden in the extension, which was still under construction.

Abiodun said,

     “I was watching television that night when I heard a noise as one of the robbers jumped from the extension into our building. There was a power outage, but my generator was on and my outside bulb was working, so I could see clearly.
    “Then I watched as he sliced my net. At that point, I shouted on him, and he jumped back into the extension where I believe the rest of his colleagues were hiding.
    “I ran out and raised the alarm and people joined me to shout and wake up those who might be sleeping.”

It was learnt that the robbers began hauling granite at the residents while they ploted their escape.

Abiodun said he went to the front of the hotel to inform and warn the hotel manager against the presence of robbers.

    “The hotel manager immediately went to the back of the hotel, while I went to a second street to mobilise more people.After a while, as I was standing on the street, one of the robbers walked past me and I couldn’t say anything for fear that he would attack me.
    “But after he passed, I shouted, ‘thief, thief, thief’ and he began to run,” he added.

The fleeing suspect, who had blood stains on his clothes, was said to have been apprehended.

He was reportedly found with a gun, and handed over to policemen from the Epe division.Upon interrogation, he was said to have led the police to the hideout of three other suspects.
The four men were identified as Rasak Babatunde, Abomeji Seun, Anthony Gbagbo and Tacqui Habbila.

PUNCH Metro learnt that Olalekan’s whereabouts was initially unknown and residents began looking for him that night.

He was later found dead at the back of the hotel, where the robbers had attacked him.

    “He was stabbed in different parts of his body and abandoned there. He was killed so that he would not expose the robbers,” a source said.

On Saturday, our correspondent learnt that the family of the late Ijebu Igbo, Ogun State indigene, took his remains to his hometown where he was buried.The Police Public Relations Officer, Kenneth Nwosu, confirmed the incident.

He said,

    “The man was the manager of the 12/30 Hotel. Five persons stormed the place and shot him. He was rushed to the hospital and he died on the way. Four persons have been arrested in connection with the case. We recovered a pistol from the suspects. The matter has been transferred to the State Criminal investigation Department, Yaba.”

A 30-year-old woman, Mrs Bukola Olusegun, is now cooling her feet in a police cell at the Ekiti police command headquarters, following her arrest for setting her husband on fire.

     “at about midnight, the husband suddenly ran out from their apartment and cried for help. He cried that his wife had set him ablaze. He was burning and was battling with the fire.We had to rush out to rescue him by quickly getting water and pouring it on him. But for the prompt intervention of some of us, he would have been burnt to death.”

The neighbour said he was taken to the Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital (EKSUTH), where he is still receiving treatment.
