A service of songs was held Monday, January 16 before her interment at Ikoyi Cemetery.
Recall that the prime suspect in the killing of Lagos-based pregnant lawyer, Mrs Omobolanle Raheem, an Assistant Superintendent of Police, Drambi Vandi, was arraigned before a Lagos High Court, sitting at the Tafawa Balewa Square, TBS, for murder.
In a one-count charge filed before the court, the Lagos State Government alleged that Vandi shot and killed Mrs Raheem in the Ajah area of the state, on December 25, 2022.
The late Bolanle was pregnant with a set of twins when she was allegedly murdered by the police officer.
After the charge was read in court, Vandi pleaded not guilty to the allegation.
Lagos State Attorney-General, Moyosore Onigbanjo, who is prosecuting the case, subsequently told the court that the state was ready to commence trial and that they have a witness in court.
The defence counsel, Mr Adetokunbo Odutola, who did not oppose the application, called for an accelerated hearing.
Thereafter, a Police Inspector, Matthew Ameh was invited to the witness box.
