The National Working Committee of the Police Community Relations Committee, under the leadership of the National Chairman, Alhaji Mogaji Ibrahim Olaniyan, has condemned the gruesome murder of a Lagos based female real estate lawyer, Mrs Bolanle Raheem, in the Ajah Area of Lagos on Christmas Day, Sunday 25th December, 2022 by a trigger happy Police operative now identified by the authorities as ASP Drambi Vandi.

According to a release by the SSA Media and Publicity, Office of the National Chairman, Comrade Kunle Sodipo, said in a follow up to a first reaction via twitter @PcrcNg on Boxing Day, Monday 26th December 2022, the PCRC  described the action of the now suspended Police personnel as highly unprofessional and most importantly, against the standard operating procedures of the Police as consistently championed by the IGP, Usman Alkali Baba, his management team and other community policing oriented Police officers and men who have been working painstakingly for the good of the Nigeria Police in all ramifications.

Established in 1984 to bridged the gap between the Police and the Community, the PCRC assured Nigerians, the deceased family and other keen observers who are currently devastated by the very sad and avoidable incident that justice will be dispensed accordingly on the matter as already emphasized by President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, the IGP and Governor of Lagos State.

The NWC lauded Zone 2, Lagos and Ogun State PCRC leaderships for coming out to condemn in strong terms, such dastardly act which remain unacceptable in the Nigeria Police Force and also call on every good Nigerians home and abroad to get involved and assist the Police, the PCRC and Government at all levels in building the Nigeria Police of our dream.

“It is our sincere prayers that God rests the soul of the deceased in peace and afford her bereaved family, most especially her husband and child, the fortitude to bear the irreplaceable loss” the National chairman prayed.
