The suspects in the alleged extrajudicial killing of a Lagos-based lawyer, Bolanle Raheem, will be charged to court soon, the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice in Lagos State, Moyo Onigbanjo.
Raheem made this known on Tuesday when he visited the victim’s family in the Ajah area of the state, according to a statement by the state Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso.
“We have the permission of Mr Governor to tell you that justice will be done in this matter. The matter will be charged to court as soon as the police send us the case file. I will be leading the prosecution to show the seriousness the government attaches to this matter,” said Onigbanjo, who represented Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
Raheem was shot dead on Christmas Day by a trigger-happy Assistant Superintendent of Police, Drambi Vandi, who was attached to Ajiwe Police Station in Ajah. The cop and his team were said to have tried to stop Raheem and her family members as they drove back home from a Christmas Day church service.
Raheem was shot when the car she was in tried to make a U-turn under the Ajah Bridge. The victim was rushed to a hospital but was confirmed dead.
