After speaking against hemp smoking in Mushin area of Lagos
State, a 25-year-old man, who works as a site manager, identified as, Tolani
Ajisefini has had one of his ears bitten off.
Ajisefini, had lived with his parents on Olateju Street,
Mushin, where the incident happened, before relocating to the Isolo area of the
state. He was said to be a regular visitor to the Mushin area where he had
friends.
He saw some youths smoking hemp in his former house, and cautioned
them, insisted they left the place, but the smokers ignored him.
This resulted in arguments and later degenerated into a
fight. One of Tolani’s (Ajisefini) friends also backed him and fought the gang
members. Tolani, however, asked his unnamed friend to leave the matter to him
alone.
He pushed his friend aside and ordered him to leave the
place. One Michael mocked the unnamed friend, saying Tolani did not appreciate
his effort. Ajisefini reportedly attacked Michael for the statement.
In the ensuing scuffle, Ajisefini was alleged to have
grabbed a bottle to attack the suspect, who parried it.
“Michael then bit off one of Ajisefini’s ears. Michael also
had a bite injury, ” the source added.
The victim was reportedly rushed to the Lagos University
Teaching Hospital, Idi-araba, Surulere, where he was quickly attended to by the
medical personnel on duty.
It was learnt that the ear could not be reattached as the
tissue was already dead.
“The ear had to be thrashed. The doctors said they may have
to perform an operation on him and give him artificial ear. He has been
deformed,” a close friend of the victim said to The Punch.
The case was allegedly reported at the Olosan Police
Division.
