My daughter was pregnant with twins – Mum of slain Lagos lawyer Bolanle speaks
The grieving mother of Bolanle Raheem has revealed that her daughter was pregnent with twins before her demise on Christmas day.
Bolanle, a practising lawyer based in Lagos, was shot dead by a police officer at the Ajah area of the state while returning from church service with her family.
Speaking with the Lagos police commissioner Abiodun Alabi during a condolence visit to her, the bereaved mother said her daughter died with her glory.
“I cannot see my ‘The Law’ again. People usually call her ‘The Law’. She was taken away from me. She was pregnant with twins,” Raheem’s mother said.
“She died with her glory. She left a five-year-old daughter behind. And they took her away.
“On Monday, my granddaughter came to me and said ‘Grandma Iju Ishaga, I saw you yesterday when you were crying; you were shouting; is it because of my mummy?’ And I said ‘yes’.
“Then she came again and told me, ‘Pastor Jerry said what God cannot do does not exist; so, grandma, stop crying’. And she kissed me on the cheek.
“Just like that, she was taken away from me. Oluwagbenga (referring to the deceased’s husband), you won’t see your love.
“It is not easy. A child that I have been training since childhood. I suffered over her. I hawked oranges; there is nothing I did not do.”
