More facts have emerged concerning a female lawyer, Bolanle Raheem, who was killed by a police officer on Christmas Day in the Ajah area of Lagos State.
TheNiche had earlier reported that Raheem, a property lawyer, an award-winning realtor, a real estate consultant, business coach and developer, who was the Chief Executive Officer of Croston Homes and Co-founder City Building, a real estate and property development company, was gunned down yesterday around 11 am on her way back from Church.
She was killed in cold-blood by a blood thirsty policeman who shot at her vehicle while trying to make a U-turn under the Ajah Bridge.
On Monday, human rights lawyer, a victim of police brutality himself, Inibehe Effiong, disclosed that the late Bolanle Raheem was pregnant.
Effiong who was part of the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) delegation that visited the Ajah police station where the alleged killer policeman was serving and also paid a condolence visit to the family of the deceased tweeted: “This is ASP Ayuba, the rogue policeman at Ajiwe Police Station, Ajah that murdered a pregnant lawyer, Mrs. Bolanle Raheem, on Christmas day while the victim was returning from Church with her husband. We were at the station this morning and paid a condolence visit to the family.”

Tweeting a photo of the alleged killer of Bolanle Raheem using his verified Twitter handle, @InibeheEffiong, the lawyer said, “The grieving man that is holding his head with his two hands in the photo is the husband of the deceased lawyer. He could barely utter a word while we were in his house.
“This is how terrible our country has become. The police that is supposed to protect citizens is killing Nigerians with impunity.”
Updating his earlier tweet, Inibehe Effiong also raised alarm that the police may already be trying to muddle up the identity of the alleged murderer.
He tweeted, “UPDATE: I’m now hearing that the officer’s name is “ASP Drambi Vandi.” We were earlier told that his name is ASP Ayuba. The police should come out clean on the identity of this killer policeman. We understand he’ll be due for retirement soon. He must not be shielded.”
