Media lady attacks PPRO Benjamin Hundeyin for calling killing of Bolanle Raheem ‘Unfortunate’
Media personality Bolanle Olukanni has called out the Lagos State Police PRO, Benjamin Hundeyin, for his choice of words while reacting to the fatal shooting of Bolanle Raheem by a police officer.
Bolanle Raheem was shot dead by a police officer on Christmas day in the presence of her family. She was reportedly pregnant with twins at the time after waiting 8 years for another child.
“Unfortunate and avoidable incident that was,” Benjamin Hundeyin tweeted in response to the fatal shooting of Bolanle Raheem.
Reacting, Bolanle Olukanni said “unfortunate” and “avoidable” are words you use when reacting to something minor, like missing an appointment, not when an innocent mother is killed by a police officer in the presence of her husband and child.
Bolanle added that Hundeyin’s past tweets also leave little to be desired.
She says Hundeyin’s choice of words “shows how indifferent they are to what is actually happening.”
She added: “If the person who is the public relations officer cannot even pretend to actually be concerned, because anybody that knows vocabulary and knows English and is a public relations person will know that using words like ‘unavoidable’ and ‘unfortunate’ are not words to use to describe the killing of someone.
In general, if you look through his tweets, there’s this lack of the whole system, the whole Nigerian police force system is rotten.”
