According to Okechukwu Enelamah, the former Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, in his sermon said, “Raheem’s relatively short life” was filled with great impact.
In his words, he noted that the circumstances that led to Bolanle’s death has elicited widespread reactions that would bring about reforms in our society.

Reactions from authorities from both the state and federal levels promised justice on Bolanle’s death.
However, Dambri Vandion, the police officer, who has since been stripped of his duty in the force after the incident, pleaded not guilty to the murder charges preferred against him on Monday at the High Court sitting in the Tafawa Balewa Square.
