Gbenga Raheem, the husband of Omobolanle, a pregnant female lawyer who was killed by an Assistant Superintendent of Police, Drambi Vandi, has narrated how his wife was killed.
Gbenga gave the narration on Monday when sympathisers paid a visit to his house in the Ajah area of Lagos State as recorded by the Punch.
Gbenga, the late’s pregnant lawyer husband, stated “On December 25, my wife, nieces, nephews, and cousins, who had come for the holiday, all went to church. On our way back, my wife said since it was Christmas Day, we should take everyone out, so, we went to a supermarket at Abraham Adesanya, then to Domino’s Pizza.
“After that, we headed towards Ajah to do a U-turn to come back to Abraham Adesanya. When we took the U-turn, we saw policemen stopping some vehicles. As we approached them, they said we should stop, and in the process, we heard a loud sound on my wife’s side window. All of a sudden, I saw blood gushing out of her chest.
“I immediately ran out; my sister-in-law, who was also with us, ran out and held the policeman; he cocked his gun at her too. Talking to him was pointless, so I went to see if anything could be done; I saw my wife gasping for breath, and by that time, my sister-in-law had brought the policeman into the car and pushed him into the front seat.
“We drove to a hospital but they said they couldn’t handle it; we eventually took her to Grandville Hospital, where she was confirmed dead. The policemen took her body and put it in the truck; they wanted me to follow them but I said I needed to go and settle my children.”
Late Bolanle, is a graduate of Olabisi Onabanjo University in Ago Iwoye, Ogun State, has recently transitioned from litigation to property law.
She was the CEO of Croston Homes and a co-founder of City Building, a real estate and property development firm.
According to reports, the mother, who already had a kid, was seven months pregnant when the tragedy occurred.
