This was revealed by Funmi Adeogun, the treasurer of the Nigerian Bar Association's (NBA) Section on Public Interest & Development Law (SPIDEL), who is also a member of the Olive Tree Parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG).
However, fresh dates will be announced when appropriate, according to Adeogun.
The funeral was set to take place at the same location tomorrow, but the burial ceremony was supposed to start today at 4 p.m. with a wake at the Olive Tree Parish of the RCCG.
Mrs Adeogun confirmed that the NBA had asked to see the autopsy report from the medical team that examined the late Bolanle Raheem when Channels Television's judiciary correspondent Shola Soyele contacted her to inquire about what crucial legal procedure required the cancellation of the burial plans.
The autopsy results should be released before our colleague is laid to rest, according to an agreement with the family, according to the NBA's publicity secretary, Habeeb Lawal. If a second opinion is required, we believe it is advisable to do it now.
The autopsy and ballistic report that are anticipated to be utilised in the trial of the alleged killer cop, Drambi Vandi, are both being requested for review by the NBA.
Prominent Advocate of Nigeria and NBA President Yakubu Maikyau escorted several members of the national executive and some senior members of the bar to visit the family of the deceased attorney last Thursday to express their condolences.
The delegation also paid a visit to the police and Senior Advocate of Nigeria and Commissioner for Justice for Lagos State, Moyosore Onigbanjo, who reaffirmed his commitment to achieving prompt justice for the late Raheem's family.
