How Lagos Lawyer, Bolanle Was Allegedly Shot Dead On Christmas Day
Bolanle Raheem, a lawyer in Lagos, was allegedly shot and killed by an operative of the Nigeria Police on her way home from Christmas Day 2022 worship in Ajah, Lagos.
A member of Lagos branch of Nigeria Bar Association(NBA) and a lawyer working with the deceased, claimed that that some policemen evacuated her body from the scene after the incident.
The grieving colleague is asking the bar for assistance “before the police changes the narrative.”
The message reads, “I am Barr. Yvonne a member of the NBA Lagos Branch, Sir I tried reaching out to you but I guess you are busy.
“My boss Barr Omobolanle Raheem was shot dead today, by a POLICE OFFICER on her way back from Xmas service at Ajah under bridge. Her family just called me now, that they need a lawyer to stand in for them before the police changes the narrative. They have taken the matter to Ajiwe Police Station.
“The police officer is from Ajiwe station. Her husband was the one driving, Barr. Omobolanle was seated in the front with her husband.
“The officer asked them to park and they needed the vehicle in front to move so they can park well, and immediately the police officer shot at a close range right into her chest. On seeing what happened, the remaining police officers on duty there absconded.
“After a while, some police men came and moved her body to the mortuary in Yaba, without obtaining any consent from her family members. Currently her family has located where they moved her body to.
“I am currently not in Lagos , I thought of bringing this to you for your assistance and guidance ma. Thank you.”
