The Crime Victims Foundation of Nigeria (CRIVIFON), a non-governmental organisation, has demanded the prosecution of the management of the two hospitals which allegedly refused to accept Omobolanle Raheem, the Lagos female lawyer shot by a trigger-happy senior police officer. Recall that Omobolanle was shot in the Ajah area of Lagos by an Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Drambi Vandi, on 2022 Christmas Day while returning from church, but it was alleged that two hospitals she was taken to for treatment rejected her.
Omobolanle Raheem’s Murder: Nigerian Foundation, CRIVIFON Demands Prosecution Of Hospitals For Rejecting Female LawyerIt was gathered that Omobolanle was first rushed to Budo Specialist Hospital where she was rejected ostensibly due to non-submission of a police report.
Recall that Omobolanle was shot in the Ajah area of Lagos by an Assistant Superintendent of Police Drambi Vandi, on 2022 Christmas Day while returning from church, but it was alleged that two hospitals she was taken to for treatment rejected her. She was subsequently taken to a second hospital, Doren Hospital but no help was forthcoming before she was rushed to Grandville Hospital where she was confirmed dead.
The Foundation called on the Lagos State Government and the police to diligently investigate the circumstances of Omobolanle's death when the hospitals could have helped to save her life.
