A member of the Nigerian Bar Association, Lagos Branch, Omobolanle Raheem, has been murdered by a power-drunk police officer in Ajah, Lagos state.
The unfortunate incident took place at the Ajah under bridge while the deceased was on her way back from Christmas Sunday service.
Another lawyer working with the deceased revealed that some policemen then moved the body of the deceased to a mortuary in Yaba, without the family’s consent.
The message read; “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 police station. Her husband was the one driving, Barr. Omobolanle was the seated in the front with her husband.
“The officer asked them to park and they needed the vehicle in front to move so that 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 policemen 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’m currently not in Lagos, I thought of bringing this to you for your assistance and guidance ma. Thank you.”
If the lady was in a car and the officer fired to her chest, how did her body end up in police custody?
