BREAKING: Sanwo-Olu Speaks After Meeting IGP Alkali Over Murder Of Bolanle Raheem
Sanwo-Olu has spoken after meeting IGP Alkali over the murder of Bolanle Raheem.
News ToGo learned that more Nigerians have been calling for concrete actions over the shooting of the Lagos-based Lawyer, Bolanle Raheem, on Christmas Day by a trigger-happy policeman.
However, the Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Thursday said there would be no cover-up in the investigation and prosecution of the culprit(s) involved in the murder. He said the outcome of investigations of the case is very important to the government and the people of Lagos State, stressing that the people deserved to know the process leading to justice for the victim.
Sanwo-Olu spoke during his visit to the Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba, at the police headquarters in Abuja, according to a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Gboyega Akosile.
He said, “We really need to get a sense of security architecture in the state and what we need to do. First is to condemn the very unfortunate incident, to express the grief of the government and the people of Lagos State, and to say how very unfortunate at this period in our time to have incidents like this.
“But beyond that is really how do we ensure that incidents like this are reduced to the barest minimum and what can government do that we are not currently doing that we can do to help the Nigeria Police, the Lagos State Police Command and how do we ensure that we have better collaboration because we do not have any other police force.”
Speaking further on the importance of his meeting with the IGP, Sanwo-Olu said his government would continually work with the Nigeria Police in providing additional equipment like body cameras and a joint advocacy programme to enhance public and police communication.
Also speaking, the IGP assured Sanwo-Olu that there would not be any cover-up in handling the case of the deceased lawyer and the culprit.
“I can assure you that there is no going to be any hanky-panky on the issue. We are also saddened about the incident. I want to again extend my condolences to the family of the late Bolanle Raheem, the husband, and the entire family.
“I also wish to extend my condolence to the government and the people of Lagos State and Nigeria at large.
“We will continue to improve on how our officers will engage in the use of firearms. At the same time, we also want to appeal to Nigerians to be responsible. They should help the police by way of supervision and making their work easy. I want to assure the members of the public that their case will be dealt with,” he said.
YouTube has removed the primary channel associated with the late founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), Prophet TB Joshua—Emmanuel TV.
News ToGo reports that the channel, which broadcasts the religious activities of the church, was taken down following allegations against the late preacher. This action comes after the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) aired controversial documentary reports about allegations of torture and rape linked to TB Joshua.
The termination of Emmanuel TV’s channel on YouTube is a response to the platform’s policies against hate speech, cyberbullying, and harassment, particularly targeting survivors of sexual violence. The move follows openDemocracy’s report on more than 50 abusive videos amplifying attacks against Joshua’s accusers.
The documentary by BBC World Service, in collaboration with openDemocracy, featured whistleblowers who made on-the-record allegations of sexual and psychological torture, financial fraud, and criminal negligence by Joshua. In a disturbing backlash, YouTube accounts promoting SCOAN shared archival video footage depicting experiences of these abuse survivors, leading to the termination of Emmanuel TV’s channel.
A Nigerian woman has detailed the reasons behind her decision to end her marriage shortly before their third wedding anniversary.
News ToGo gathered that in a TikTok video, she revealed that she severed ties with her husband to save her life after uncovering his involvement in alleged ritualistic activities. She also disclosed that her husband was intending to use her for money rituals.
The woman, who smashed a mug she had crafted for their anniversary in the video, claimed that their daughter was substituted in her stead for the purported money ritual.

Moment Lagos Govt Officials Stormed Market, Ignored Pleading Women and Seized Their Goods (Video)
On Friday, January 5, the Lagos state government carried out the confiscation of goods displayed by traders along the highway.
News ToGo reports that a video circulated online captured the traders pleading for leniency as their merchandise was being seized.
Sharing the video on social media, the state Commissioner of Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, emphasized the need for enforcement without sentiment. He highlighted previous warnings to traders against displaying or selling items on walkways, setbacks, or main roads, as such practices deface the city and pose safety concerns for the public.
Wahab stated, ”We cannot be emotional about enforcement. We have severally warned that traders should desist from displaying or selling things on the walkway, setbacks, or main road. It defaces the city and majorly for people’s safety.
Early Friday, Special operatives of KAI/LAGESC again dislodged street traders operating on Agege Motor road, Old Secretariat GRA Ikeja, Awolowo way, Alausa Secretariat, Agidingbi Jakande road inward LTV 8, Ojodu Berger, Fagba road.”
