Although he was refused injunctions today, the overall proceedings will return before the court this week.Further investigation by LIB revealed that Abayeneme suffered serious injuries in 2019 after being attacked by three men in what he described as a racially motivated assault.Abayeneme, then, 22, was washing a car at the rear of an industrial unit on the Blessington Road on the outskirts of Tallaght at around 6pm on Tuesday when he was set upon by three men who arrived at the premises.He was apparently attacked with large tools and beaten about the head and body and left unconscious on the ground. Speaking from his bed at Tallaght Hospital, Mr Abayeneme, told of the sequence of events that led to him fearing he would be killed."My car wash is beside another garage, and a customer I knew had a car in that garage," he said."While he was talking to the garage owner, three men came out into the yard where I work and one of them started urinating. I told him he could not do that and then he got really angry and started to racially abuse me.He was calling me a black monkey and saying I should f**k off back to where I came from. He was shouting abuse at me, saying we were taking jobs and food while we are here.<img src="https://www.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/cover1_1756107841.jpg">The post <a href="http://www.lindaikejisblog.com/2025/8/nigerian-man-faces-trial-in-ireland-for-attacking-neighbour-who-allegedly-leaves-bananas-outside-his-office-and-makes-monkey-gestures-at-him.html">Nigerian man faces trial in Ireland for attacking neighbour who allegedly leaves bananas outside his office and makes monkey gestures at him</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.lindaikejisblog.com">Linda Ikeji Blog</a>.
