A funeral has just ended for Lagos based lawyer, Omobolanle Raheem. She was shot by a police officer, identified as ASP Drambi Vandi, on December 25, 2022 at Ajah under bridge, on her way back from church after a Christmas service.
Mrs Raheem who was pregnant, was in her vehicle in the company of her husband, sister and child, at the time of the incident.
The police officer is being prosecuted by the Lagos state government for the murder. Trial opened on Monday after the defendant pleaded not guilty to the offence.
She was also a popular, award-winning realtor and real estate developer.
The well attended service was held at Olive Tree Parish, RCCG, Banana Island Road, Ikoyi, Lagos.
The preacher, Oke Enelama, described the deceased as selfless who lived a short but impactful life. He urged the family to find solace in Jesus Christ at this trying period.
The 41-year old was the first child of her parents and is also survived by her mother. The interment will hold shortly but will be for family members only.
