Gbenga, the husband of late Lagos lawyer, Omobolanle Raheem, on Thursday, told a Lagos State High Court sitting at the Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos Island, how his wife struggled to survive as three hospitals denied her treatment.
The victim was shot to death on Christmas Day by an Assistant Superintendent of Police, Drambi Vandi.
The husband also said she received the Toyota Venza in which she was shot as a gift on Friday, December 23, 2022, two days to her death.
A property developer she worked for was said to have given her the car as reward for meeting her target.
Gbenga, who was led in evidence-in-chief by the Attorney General of Lagos State and Commissioner for Justice, Moyosore Onigbanjo, SAN, stated that they got married 10 years ago and on Christmas Day, the family woke up to surprise gifts she bought the night before and placed under the pillows of members of the family.
The witness, who testified before Justice Ibironke Harrison, narrated that he also gave his wife jewellery as a Christmas gift.
“Though she was pregnant, we had an intimate moment that morning and she was really glad. After that, we had a light breakfast and we went to a nearby church with the new car gifted to her.
