Extrajudicial killings: Osinbajo reaches out to Bolanle Raheem’s husband, family

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has contacted and consoled the husband and family of Mrs. Bolanle Raheem, who was killed by a policeman on Christmas Day in Lagos.

Raheem, who was pregnant, was fatally shot by a police officer attached to the Ajiwe police division in the Ajah area of the state. The family of Raheem, a Lagos-based lawyer, and Gbenga, the husband, have been receiving guests since the unfortunate incident.

Osinbajo contacted the husband and family on December 28 to condole and pray with them, even though aides said he has been away on vacation, since Christmas Day, when he preached at the Aso Villa Chapel.

The murder of the late Raheem has sparked reactions from Nigerians from different walks of life, including condolences for the family and prayers for the repose of her soul.
