Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has referred to the death of pregnant lawyer Bolanle Raheem as terrible and preventable, and he promised that justice would be swiftly administered in the case.
The late Lagos attorney was fatally shot on Christmas Day in her car by policemen from the Ajiwe Police station in the presence of her family members.
Sanwo-Olu has taken to his Twitter account today to send his condolences to the deceased’s family, while also promising them that the perpetrator will be swiftly brought to book.
Sanwo-Olu tweeted: “With utter shock and sadness, I received the news of the unfortunate and avoidable death of Barrister Bolanle Raheem at the hands of a police officer at Ajiwe.
“My condolence to her family, friends and associates. I can assure you that justice will be served.
“The Lagos State police command has arrested, disarmed and detained the officer(s) involved in the incident.
“Nothing will be spared under the Laws of Lagos State until justice is served speedily and adequately.”
Reactions have been pouring out as regards the incident, with Mr Macaroni earlier calling out Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for allegedly worsening the State’s security.
