I Hawked Oranges To Train My Child – Bolanle Raheem’s Mother

The mother of the slain lawyer, Bolanle Raheem, who was shot dead by an Assistant Superintendent of Police, Drambi Vandi, in the Ajah area of Lagos State, has said that she hawked oranges to educate her late child.

She said this on Tuesday when the state Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Alabi, paid her a condolence visit.

The bereaved mum said, “ Commissioner, it is not easy. A child I raised from childhood. I laboured and suffered because of her. I hawked oranges, there is nothing I didn’t do for her to become a lawyer. She was now killed at the time that I am supposed to be eating the fruit of my labour. God should fight for me. She was my only child.”
