‘She Was Gasping For Breath’ – Husband Of Late Lawyer, Bolanle Raheem Narrates How She Died


Gbenga Raheem has narrated how his late wife, Bolanle died after being shot and killed by Drambi Vandi, an assistant superintendent of police, on Christmas day in Ajah.

The deceased who was pregnant was gasping for breath before she met her untimely death, Gbenga said.

Vandi, attached to the Ajiwe Police Station, Ajah, Lagos State, was said to have spent 33 years in the police force and reportedly took the fatal shot unprovoked.

On December 25, my wife, nieces, nephews, and cousins, who had come for a holiday, all went to church. On our way back, my wife said since it was Christmas Day, we should take everyone out, so, we went to a supermarket at Abraham Adesanya, then to Domino’s Pizza.


“Afterward, we headed towards Ajah to do a U-turn to return to Abraham Adesanya. When we took the U-turn, we saw policemen stopping some vehicles. As we approached them, they said we should stop, and in the process, we heard a loud sound on my wife’s side window. All of a sudden, I saw blood gushing out of her chest.

“I immediately ran out; my sister-in-law, who was also with us, ran out and held the policeman; he cocked his gun at her too. Talking to him was pointless, so I went to see if anything could be done; I saw my wife gasping for breath, and by that time, my sister-in-law had brought the policeman into the car and pushed him into the front seat.

“We drove to a hospital but they said they couldn’t handle it; we eventually took her to Grandville Hospital, where she was confirmed dead. The policemen took her body and put it in the truck; they wanted me to follow them but I said I needed to go and settle my children.”
