The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) is demanding at least N5billion compensation for the family of slain Lagos lawyer, Mrs. Omobolanle Raheem.
Recall that Omobolanle, who was pregnant with a set of twins, was coming from an eatery with her family when she was sh%t de@d by an Assistant Superintendent of Police, Drambi Vandi, in Ajah.
NBA Lagos Branch member and rights activist, Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa (SAN), in a statement on Thursday, December 29, said the NBA will also monitor the trial of of the k#ller cop.
According to him, “The NBA Lagos in conjunction with the NBA President, Mr. Y.C. Mikyau, SAN, has decided to be part of the prosecution of the policeman as part of its efforts towards securing quick and effective justice for the family of the deceased.
In this regard, the NBA will be partnering with the Ministry of Justice during the trial. The NBA is also seeking monetary compensation for the family of Mrs. Raheem from the government of Lagos State, the Federal Government, and indeed the Nigeria Police Force and the Police Service Commission, through its Human Rights Committee.
The NBA will seek for payment of dam@ges not less than five billion naira in addition to the prosecution of the k#ller cop.
I urged Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to follow the model that he adopted during the EndSARS Judicial Panel to pay compensation to the family of Mrs. Raheem immediately since it is an established fact that her life was termin@ted illegally by a policeman.”
