Former Nigerian Vice-President and Presidential candidate for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has condemned the gruesome killing of the Lagos-based lawyer, Omobolanle Raheem.
Atiku condemned the unprofessional and barbaric action of the police officer who shot Omobolanle via his verified Twitter handle on Monday December 26, 2022.
“The shooting of Bolanle Raheem by a police officer is heartbreaking and stands condemned,” Atiku said.
He added, “This latest shooting calls to attention the urgent need for Police reforms that will sanitise the Force and bring it in line with best policing practices.
“I call on the police authorities and the Justice system to expedite action on the matter, as justice delayed is justice denied. This will serve as a deterrent to the incidents of irresponsible shooting of innocent citizens by law enforcement agents.”
Atiku also expressed his deepest condolences to the family, friends and the Nigeria Bar Association, in particular its Lagos chapter.
“May her soul rest in peace,” he prayed.
