It was a black Christmas as a senior police officer and two others involved in shooting a female lawyer dead in Lagos State on Christmas day have been arrested.
The lawyer identified as Bolanle Raheem was shot and killed by a policeman under questionable circumstances in the Ajah area of Lagos State.
It was gathered that the lawyer, her sister, and four children were coming from an eatery with their car around 11am when the police operative tried to stop them but shot at the driver.
The officer who was in the company of a team of police operatives was said to have fled the scene after shooting the woman just as she was trying to make a U-turn under the Ajah Bridge according to sources.
The woman was rushed to the hospital but was confirmed dead.
