Nigerian Footballer Arrested For Manhandling Bar Waitress In Phillipines

A Nigerian footballer, Charles Ujam, has been arrested for allegedly manhandling and insulting a bar girl in Manila, the capital of The Phillipines.
Ujam, 30, assaulted the lady on Friday as he and some team-mates were having drinks at the bar.
His arrest followed a complaint by the 26-year-old bar girl, Haydie Lucas, of Las Pinas city, who said he hurt her and made unsavoury remarks about her.
The Phillipines Daily Inquirer reports that Ujam, who plays as a defender for Pasargad Football club under the United Football League, was subdued by security guards at the Studio 54 Bar at the corner of MH Del Pilar and Salas streets in Malate and handed over to the police.
Isole said that Ujam and several other team mates were having drinks and were playing pool at the bar at around 4 a.m. when one of the Nigerians ordered an energy drink for a companion identified only as Baylon.
When Lucas gave Baylon the energy drink, Ujam allegedly grabbed the belt bag around the waitress’ waist and asked her why she delivered an energy drink when Baylon never ordered any.

Lucas claimed that she tried to explain that one of their companions had ordered the drink for Baylon but Ujam would not listen and instead grabbed her by the arm while asking her if she would have sex with Baylon.
Lucas said that when she said “no,” Ujam shouted at her: “Don’t say no to me. How much is your service?” still holding her by the arm. When the waitress asked him to let go, he refused and instead pinched her nose hard.
Ujam was about to slap her when he was accosted by bar security personnel, who promptly turned him over to the custody of the MPD.
PO3 Gilbert Isole of the Manila Police District General Assignment Section confirmed the arrest of the footballer, saying he appeared to be drunk at the time of the alleged assault.
The footballer is being detained at the MPD holding cell, pending arraignment for slight physical injury.
