Musician and one of the promoters of the 2020 protests against police brutality, Folarin Falana (Falz) has advised the Nigerian Police Force and the Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu to ensure the killer of lawyer, Bolanle Raheem is punished to avert chaos. Falz made the statement via his verified twitter handle on Wednesday, saying that it is regrettable that two years after the massive protests against police brutality policemen are still killing Nigerians.
He wrote;
“When we refused to leave the streets in October 2020, we were referred to as recalcitrant #EndSars youth that just wanted to make trouble.
“TWO YEARS after a panel made recommendations regarding those cases, they have still not been implemented.”
“Another man in police uniform took the life of a pregnant Bolanle Raheem on Christmas Day.
“If this person isn’t punished & all details PUBLISHED for everyone to see, I am afraid many will interpret that as an invitation to chaos. Humble advice.”
Recall that the Lagos-based lawyer, Bolanle Raheem, was shot and killed by a police officer identified as Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Dambri Vandi, attached to the Ajiwe Police Station in the Lekki-Ajah area of Lagos State, on 25th December 2022.
Bolanle’s death on Christmas day has however sparked various reactions and uproar from different authorities, celebrities and citizens to ensure justice prevails.
