Falz warns Sanwo-Olu, police of chaos in Lagos over Bolanle Raheem’s murder
Falz (Folarin Falana), musician and rights activist, has warned Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and the Nigeria Police of potential chaos in Lagos if the cop accused of killing a pregnant lawyer, Bolanle Raheem, is not “punished.”
“Another man in police uniform took the life of a pregnant Bolanle Raheem on Christmas Day. If this person isn’t punished and all details published for everyone to see, I am afraid many will interpret that as an invitation to chaos. Humble advice,” said Falz.
A cop, Drambi Vandi, was apprehended by the police for killing the lawyer, said to be pregnant with twins on Christmas day.
Falz added, “When we refused to leave the streets in October 2020, we were referred to as recalcitrant #EndSars youth that just wanted to make trouble,” adding that “two years after a panel made recommendations regarding those cases, they have still not been implemented.”
Ms Raheem’s murder was not the first by the police in the Ajah area of Lagos. On December 7, Gafaru Buraimoh was shot dead by a police officer from the Ajiwe police division.
Meanwhile, IGP Usman Baba has recommended the “immediate suspension” of the cop who fatally shot the Lagos lawyer.
