Lawmakers in the House of Representatives have condemned the killing of Mrs Bolanle Raheem by an Assistant Superintendent of Police, Drambi Vandi in the Ajah area of Lagos State on Christmas Day.

The lawmaker representing Eti Osa Federal Constituency, Ibrahim Obanikoro, raised the matter as a matter of urgent public importance. Members of the House further expressed discomfort over reports of wanton killing of Nigerians by men of the Nigeria Police.

The House is to investigate the killing of Mrs Bolanle Raheem and another young man who was allegedly killed by officers from the same police station.

Raheem was shot dead on Christmas Day by Vandi, who was attached to Ajiwe Police Station in Ajah. The cop and his team were said to have tried to stop Raheem and her family members as they drove back home from a church service.

Raheem was shot when the car she was in tried to make a U-turn under the Ajah Bridge. The victim was rushed to a hospital but was confirmed dead.

The incident sparked nationwide outrage with the Lagos State Police Command stating that the ASP and two other officers had been detained.
