Raheem: Burial postponed, lawyers to pay last respects

 The Nigerian Bar Association on Monday said it would schedule a special programme to honour the late female lawyer, Mrs Omobolanle Raheem, who was shot dead on the last Christmas Day.

The NBA disclosed this in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Mr Habeeb Lawal, in Lagos.

Raheem was allegedly shot dead by a police officer while she was returning from an outing with her family. The alleged murder occurred in Ajah, Lagos State.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Raheem was reportedly shot dead by an assistant superintendent of police attached to the Ajiwe Police Station in Ajah, Lagos. The suspect had since been remanded.

In the statement, the NBA said that new dates for the burial ceremonies of Raheem would be communicated.

“Contrary to the earlier announcement released by the family of the late Bolanle Raheem with regard to her burial arrangements, new dates will be announced soon.

“This is as a result of sensitive matters discussed with the family during the visit of the NBA President, Y.C. Maikyau (SAN), who led a delegation to the family.

“In addition, the NBA is planning a befitting event for lawyers to pay their last respect to their deceased colleague.

“This event will be championed by the NBA Lagos Branch and full details will be announced soon,” it said.

Augustine Eguavoen Did A Fine Job As Super Eagles Coach

  By now it is no news to any Nigerian sports fan, that Augustin Eguavoen and his entire team have been relieved of their duties at the helm of affairs of the Nigerian National team. Most Nigerians are happy with this development, with some claiming that his immediate predecessor, Gernot Rohr would have delivered better results. However, a simple analysis of events will clearly demonstrate that Eguavoen did a fine enough job given the circumstances. I will attempt to undertake this analysis by demonstrating, first that Eguavoen has a better record than one might realize, and secondly by comparing the performance of his Super Eagles with that of Afcon winners, Senegal, and runners-up Egypt. When Gernot Rohr was sacked a few weeks to the Afcon, knowledgeable sportspersons decried the move, citing the difficulty any new coach would face in setting up the team to play to his own patterns.
