The statement, which was signed by NBA’s Assistant National Publicity Secretary, Mr Charles Ajiboye, stated that “With the directive of the NBA President, Mr Yakubu Maikyau (SAN), a befitting day of tributes will be organised by the NBA in honour of the deceased, Mrs Bolanle Raheem.”
“The event tagged: “Auroral Tributes to Mrs Bolanle Raheem by the NBA”, is to be held at the Dining Hall of the Nigerian Law School, Lagos Campus, on Jan. 16, from 1. p.m. to 4. p.m.”
“The Nigerian Bar Association, through its Lagos Branch, humbly requests for tributes to honour our late colleague, who was slain on Dec. 25, 2022,” the NBA said.
Raheem was allegedly shot and killed in Lagos on Christmas Day last year by an assistant superintendent of police working out of the Ajiwe Police Station in Ajah, Lagos State.
Her funeral service will be held on January 17 at the Olive Tree Parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God in Banana Island, Lagos State, according to her family’s plans.
The Nigerian Law School’s Lagos campus is where the tributes are to be made, according to NBA.
It stated that on January 16 at 5:00 p.m. at the same location, a service of songs would be held in her memory.
