A special programme by the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) to honour the late Omobolanle Raheem who was allegedly shot dead by a police officer on Christmas Day 2022 has been postponed.
The late Raheem was shot while returning from an outing with her family.
A statement by the National Publicity Secretary, Habeeb Lawal, said new dates for the funeral ceremonies would be communicated.
It reads: “Contrary to the earlier announcement released by the family of the late Bolanle Raheem, with regard to her burial arrangements, new dates will be announced soon. This is because of sensitive matters discussed with the family when a delegation, led by the NBA President, Y.C. Maikyau (SAN), visited the family.
“In addition, the NBA is planning a befitting event for lawyers to pay their last respect to their deceased colleague. This event will be championed by the NBA Lagos Branch and full details will be announced soon.”
