The legal community’s Christmas celebrations has been dampened by the unfolding news of the murder of Omobalanle Raheem by a man suspected to be a Police officer.
According to Barr. Yvonne a member of the NBA Lagos Branch, the murdered lawyer, was her Boss and she narrates thus, “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.”
