Murder

The gruesome murder of Bolanle Raheem by an Assistant Superintendent of Police(ASP) has been described as a reflection of the depraved mindset of those in government.

This assertion was made by a former chairman of the Oyo state council of the Trade Union Congress(TUC), Comrade Andrew Emelieze.

''This kind of tragedy shows that those ruling Nigeria are heartless, wicked and do not value the lives of Nigerians. This is the kind of nightmare that Nigerians face daily at the hands of men and officers of the Nigeria Police Force. The police are doing the opposite of what they were recruited to do. Rather than protecting Nigerians, the police are on the streets, extorting, attacking and maiming innocent Nigerians. It is quite unfortunate, pathetic and very sorrowful that Mrs. Bolanle Raheem was killed in cold blood by a drunken police officer. We pray for the repose of her soul and also pray that God will give the family the fortitude to bear the great loss.''

Yet to be identified assailants have killed a Medical Doctor in his clinic in Juja Kaimbu County Kenya.
It was gathered from the father of the deceased that unknown persons called his son some minutes past 12 midnight, pretending to be in urgent need of medical care.
''The doctor left his house and rushed to the clinic to tend to the criminals masquerading as patients. When the landlord opened the gate for him to park his vehicle, he found the criminals waiting for him and he ushered them into the consultation room without knowing that they were not patients. The criminals attacked the doctor with knives, stabbing him several times before fleeing the premises and leaving him for the dead.  They left my son with serious wounds and stole his phone'', The father of the deceased lamented.

Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) based in Juja are pursuing leads that could lead to the arrest of the culprits.
The detectives say they have already reached out to a telecommunications company to obtain the data required to track the mobile phone.
The doctor's murder comes amid concerns over the rise in crime in Nairobi, Kiambu, and Meru.
