Husband of late Mrs. Omobolanle Raheem, who was allegedly shot and killed by Assistant Superintendent of Police, ASP, Drambi Vandi, on Christmas Day, Gbenga Raheem, revealed how his wife tried to pray but doctor told her not to.
He said,
“At Doren hospital, I asked for the emergency room. I was shooting please help, my wife had just been shot, the doctor asked me how it happened, I said my wife was shot and the police were aware.
“The defendant was following me but I didn’t know how he stopped when we got to Doren hospital. I was crying, shouting that the doctor should help me to save my wife, I said she is pregnant, save her life.
“They brought an oxygen and put it in her nose and a needle in her hand and a cotton wool and tried to stop the blood.
“She tried to pray and the doctor told her not to talk, she said ‘I can’t breath, I can’t breath’ and after a while, the doctor said we need to take her to Granville hospital at VGC.
When they took the oxygen cylinder away, I knelt down and pleaded with them please save my wife. I went and picked my phone from the car and showed them my account balance. I said expense was not the issue.
“So, when they said we need to take her to Granville hospital in VGC, they went to get the ambulance, and when they came back, they said the driver was not around.
“I told them to give me the key that I can drive, they went inside and came back in few minutes and said that the driver went away with the key. I now noticed that my wife was getting weak.
“I begged the doctor to follow us and at that time, they had started pressing her chest. So, when the doctor didn’t want to follow me, I said please give me a nurse because the doctor said he couldn’t leave the hospital as he was the only one around.
“As I was about leaving, I saw a Police Van and I told them that they said we should go to Granville hospital, they followed me. When I got to Granville, I ran inside and started shooting ‘please help me emergency, my wife has been shot.’
“Then a female doctor came out, I thought that they would have taken her in but she started checking her pause and then said she had passed on.
I was shattered, I couldn’t speak again, then the police picked her and put her in their van, and I just looked at my wife’s lifeless body and I was like my wife has gone. It took me a while to put myself together because everything was over,” he said.
