The mother of slain Lagos lawyer, Mrs Ishola has broken her silence over the gruesome killing of her daughter, Bolanle Raheem, by an officer of the Nigeria Police Force.
Bolanle Raheem (nee Ishola) was allegedly killed by ASP Drambi Vandi, an officer attached to Ajiwe Police Station in the Ajah area of Lagos State on Sunday, December 25, 2022, in the presence of her husband and other family members while on their way to buy pizza.
The police had flagged down the car and shot her in the chest before her husband, who was driving at the time could find a place to park.
Mrs Ishola, speaking in Yoruba language with the commissioner of police, CP Olusegun Hakeem Dosumu at the deceased family House, Lekki Gardens, on Tuesday, December 17, 2022, evening lamented how she suffered to train her child until she became a lawyer and successful in life.
“I suffered in lack and want hawking for my daughter, [slain lawyer] to become a graduate of law,” the grieving mother said.
“I hawked oranges to ensure she had a good education and today, I can’t find her again.
“She was not sick, she had no pain, she just disappeared like that. On a Christmas day when everybody was happy, my daughter just disappeared without suffering any sickness.
“Oh, Commissioner (referring to the police commissioner) it is not easy,” the is quoted as saying.
Earlier in the day, Mrs Ishola was still in shock as she kept insisting that her daughter was still in the house.
