A trigger happy policeman has allegedly shot and killed a lawyer, Mrs. Omobolanle Raheem, at the Ajiwe area of Ajah, Lagos State, on Christmas Day.

The alleged killer cop and two other members of his team have been arrested.

It was learnt that the policemen were allegedly extorting motorists on the highway and had asked Raheem’s husband, who was driving to park their vehicle.

“My boss Barr Omobolanle Raheem was shot dead by a police officer on her way back from Christmas service at Ajah under bridge.

“Her family just called me now, that they need a lawyer to stand in for them before the police changes the narrative.

“They have taken the matter to Ajiwe Police Station. The police officer is from Ajiwe station.

“Her husband was the one driving, Barr. Omobolanle was seated in the front with her husband.

“The officer asked them to park and they needed the vehicle in front to move so they can park well, and immediately the police officer shot at a close range right into her chest.

“On seeing what happened, the remaining police officers on duty there absconded.

“After a while, some policemen came and moved her body to the mortuary in Yaba, without obtaining any consent from her family members.

“Currently her family has located where they moved her body to.

“I am currently not in Lagos. I thought of bringing this to you for your assistance and guidance,” she wrote.
