Tears flowed on Tuesday when a Lagos-based lawyer, Bolanle Raheem, who was allegedly shot dead by a policeman, Drambi Vandi, last Christmas, was committed to mother earth.

Representatives of the Nigeria Bar Association, her former office and neighbours paid tributes to her.

The officiating cleric, Okechukwu Enelamah, a former Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, urged family members and friends not to cry “but rather be glad because she’s in a better place.”After the service, the body was taken to the Vaults and Garden, Ikoyi, for a private burial. Vandi was arraigned on Monday before Justice Ibironke Harrison of the Lagos State High Court at Tafawa Balewa Square on one count of murder.All rights reserved.
