The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) says it is planning a befitting event for lawyers to pay their last respect to their deceased colleague, Mrs. Omobolanle Raheem, who was shot dead on 2022 Christmas Day.
Raheem was killed by a police officer while she was returning from an outing with her family in the Ajah area of Lagos State.
She was shot dead by an assistant superintendent of police attached to the Ajiwe Police Station in Ajah, Lagos. The suspect has since been remanded.
However, NBA in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Habeeb Lawal, in Lagos and released on Monday said it would schedule a special programme to honour the deceased.
In the statement, the NBA said that new dates for the burial ceremonies of Raheem would be communicated.
“Contrary to the earlier announcement released by the family of the late Bolanle Raheem with regard to her burial arrangements, new dates will be announced soon.
“This is a result of sensitive matters discussed with the family during the visit of the NBA President, Y.C. Maikyau (SAN), who led a delegation to the family.
“In addition, the NBA is planning a befitting event for lawyers to pay their last respect to their deceased colleague.
“This event will be championed by the NBA Lagos Branch and full details will be announced soon,” it added.
