STORY ORIGINALLY POSTED BY MOJI DELANO BLOG
Yesterday,
an anonymous MDB reader contacted me and narrated how her friend
suffered great injustice in the hands of a woman beater young man who
beat her friend blue black just for doing her job.
The perpetrator identified as Yomi Balogun interestingly happens to
be son of former Police Inspector General Tafa Balogun renown for his
corrupt ways during his tenure as Nigerian Police boss.
The victim Oyin is said to works as the PRO Manager of The Place
night club off admiralty way, Lekki Phase1. When MDB contacted her, she
confirmed the story, but opted not to comment much or send the bloodied
pictures for personal reasons.
Her friend however begged that her story be published, and other
ladies be warned about this socialite, whose violent, woman beating
reputation allegedly precedes him.
I have decided to write it as she narrated Oyin’s traumatic ordeal, just slightly edited. Read all after the cut:
Hear her:
“I
was very shocked when Oyin called me and told me she was in the
hospital early of Friday(8th of November) but not in my wildest dreams
could I have imagined what happened.
On getting to the hospital, Oyin narrated how this violent guy just
descended on her for nothing. Even if she said anything to infuriate
him, why would any grown, reasonable thinking man raise his hands
against a woman for any reason? But of course, because of his dad, he
walks and roams free on the street of Lagos after committing such a
barbaric act. Before I get carried away, this is what she told me
happened on that faithful day.
Oyin said the whole thing started on Tuesday last week when Yomi and
his friends came to the club. Most times when he comes like that, based
on recognition and the fact that she considered him a friend( I think he
was asking her out) she usually allows him to sign for his
drinks(credit) and pay later.
According to her, all the waitresses run away from him and his
friends whenever they are around because of their violent nature when
its time to pay their bills. Funny thing is these guys have money to pay
ooo so I don’t understand what the fuss about paying bills. But then, I
guess they like to deal with a senior staff who will massage their egos
and all that so Oyin most times attends to them personally. I’ve been
there a couple of times myself and seen how nice and polite Oyin is when
dealing with them.
Anyways, on Thursday last week, Oyin said he came to the club again
and when he was about to leave the club, she asked for Tuesday’s bill,
everything totally totaling to N18,500. He then told her to follow her
to his car which she did.
On getting to the car, Yomi said he was going to write her a cheque
for the amount. Oyin at that point told him that 18k was too small an
amount for her to go all the way to the bank for, particularly
considering that he had paid heavier bills in cash in the past. This is
what she said o, that infuriated him and got him so angry. She said she
had never seen like that before. He then started using swear words and
calling her names, and even telling her to “F**k off” if she couldn’t
take the cheque.
Of course Oyin is human now, she also got ticked off by his vulgar
language. Oyin was like when she saw that he had taken it over board,
she told him;”If 18k was your problem this night, I’d leave you and we
would sort it later” she said, then turned back to leave.
Before she could she say Jack Robinson, Mike Tyson Yomi pulled her
back violently. Before my friend could regain composure, he punched her
in the mouth. Blood immediately started gushing out.The sad thing was,
he didn’t park right in front of the club, so security didn’t
immediately come to her rescue. Sebi on seeing the blood from Oyin’s
mouth, someone who had any human feelings would have left her alone? Mba
o! It was then that he descended on the poor girl and sent her
spiraling to the ground. She said she even hit her head on the floor.
What if she has suffered internal bleeding? What if something very
serious had happened to her enemy? That’s how he will now be begging her
parents or what? If not for the security who eventually came to her aid
and others who held him, only God knows how the story that day would
have ended….” Oyin’s friend said as she ended her narration on the
phone, lamenting bitterly.
Choosing to remain anonymous for security reasons, she also indicated
that Yomi has since been apologizing to Oyin and sending various
emissaries to the traumatized lady whom when we contacted confirmed the
story and only managed to say in emotion laden voice ” I have never been
so embarrassed or humiliated by anyone in my entire life, it was like I
was a thief he was dealing with”, and then the line went dead. All
efforts to call her back for further clarification on her friends
account proved abortive as her phones have since been switched off.
Of course, ya’all know that I have a serious opinion about this Yomi
guy, who sources in the know allege is in the habit of having violent
altercations at clubs and beating women. I an 200% anti women battery,
so I’m taking this one very personal.
So now, uncle Yomi, because your dad is the ex, police boss, that gives you the right to beat women at will?
For you to violently turn someone who I hear calls you ‘friend’ into a
punching bag in public shows that beating women is your MO, and only God
knows what you do to your girlfriend. And please, don’t even try
sending your goons to come contradict this story, I have it beyond
reasonable doubt that you indeed beat Oyin blue black, and would
probably have done her more grievous bodily harm if people hadn’t held
you back, or intervened. You really should be investigated, or at least
picked up by the police for what you did. But oops! I forgot, your dad
is the ex inspector general of Police.
I really do wish Oyin said more on her encounter or sent in the
bloodied pictures of her bleeding mouth so the world sees how much harm
you caused the poor girl who was only doing her job.
But then, as she opted to keep things low, I’d end by saying: change
your ways before its too late. You’re just in your late 20′s or early
30′s, and woman battering is the last thing that makes you man.
A word they say is enough for the wise…that is if you are wise.

A really sad incidence that can’t ever be forgotten. I only pity the woman that got married to that Monster. I hope he’s a better guy and would not be a beast to his own family
Same thing happened at rehab years back, but the smart girl dealt him with pepper spray so I heard..
