The upcoming singer, who was stabbed by her landlord’s son Tiwa Bankole, told Punchonline that she thought she was going to die.
According to her “When he was stabbing me, I started bleeding profusely and I thought I was going to die,” she said.
Tiwa Bank as she is fondly called, told Punchonline from her hospital bed at Iyana-Ipaja, Lagos on Thursday that she did nothing to deserve the attack.
“Tobi said no one could arrest him and nothing would happen to him. Because his father is a retired police officer and his stepmother, a policewoman, he always gets away with his misdeeds,” she added.
Tiwa Bank who described her attacker, Tobi, as a hot-tempered boy, who had on many occasions assaulted tenants at their 20 Yusuf Street home.
“I’ve been living in the house since 2005 with my brothers. Although the landlord lives in the same building with us, Tobi does not. He was one of my younger brothers’ friends and even used to come to our room. Some months ago, I wanted to use the toilet but Tobi blocked my way, threatening to beat me.
“After a brief argument, neighbours advised me to enter my room and ignore him which I did. I reported the matter to my dad who later reported the matter to the landlord.
“The landlord told my dad that Tobi had not been to the house in three years and that I was lying. The landlord even insinuated that Tobi and I were having a relationship.
“There is no way I could have a relationship with Tobi because I’m about 10 years older than him. My father however advised me to stay away from the boy. I have been avoiding him but he continued to cause trouble in the neighbourhood,” Tiwa Bank added.
