Afeez Adeyemi, 58, of The Broadway, Woking, was sentenced after pleading guilty to causing grievous bodily harm following the unprovoked assault, which took place near the Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) fast food chain in Woking in the early hours of 16 January 2022.

The victim was preparing to drive home on his scooter from KFC when Adeyemi approached him, visibly drunk, and began insulting him. The victim’s daughter was also leaving KFC after finishing work when Adeyemi also began insulting her and grabbed her arm.

The victim stepped between them and began pushing him away from his daughter. Adeyemi punched the victim in the face, causing him to fall to the floor. As he tried to stand, Adeyemi punched him again to the face, leaving him with multiple fractures to his face, several cuts and a haemorrhage to his right eye.

Adeyemi left and went into a nearby flat but by this time the daughter had called the police and he was arrested shortly afterwards.

During the interview, Adeyemi tried to claim he had acted in self-defence after the victim attacked him but was charged with GBH which he subsequently pleaded guilty to when he appeared in court.

Adeyemi was jailed for 12 months when he appeared at Guildford Crown Court.
