A trigger happy police officer has shot dead a female lawyer, Barrister Omobolanle Raheem, yesterday in Lekki area of Lagos State.
According to media reports, Barrister Omobolanle was in a car with her husband when the unfortunate incident happened.
The police officer and his team who came from Ajiwe police station according to a source, mounted illegal checkpoints where they were extorting money from motorists.
The source further said that the sad incident happened when the two couples were retuning back from Christmas service at Ajah under the bridge.
The source said, “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 absconded.
“After a while, some police men 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.”
