A Nigerian lawyer, Bolanle Raheem, has unfortunately been shot and killed by a policeman attached to the Ajah Police State in Lagos on Christmas day, December 25.
The deceased and her family were coming from a restaurant in their car around 11am when the policeman tried to stop them.
Eyewitnesses said the deceased was trying to make a U-turn under Ajah Bridge when the officer opened fire at her car. Sadly, the bullet hit the deceased and she was rushed to a hospital where she was pronounced dead.

A colleague of the deceased, identified as KC Uzoka, took to Twitter to call the attention of the Nigerian police to the tragic incident.
He tweeted:
“One of your officers attached to Ajiwe police Division Ajah, shot at point blank & murdered a lawyer colleague of mine today. This is one too many similar incidents with police officers in Ajiwe. Now a family has lost a dear one on Christmas day.”

    Reading this piece gave me goose pimple all over my body. So sad. So bad that things like this still happens. I pray for the husband and children if she has any.
    May God give them the fortitude to bear the loss…
    Rest in Peace.
