The Lagos State Government has arraigned Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP), Mr. Drambi Vandi, for the alleged murder of a Lagos-based lawyer, Mrs. Omobolanle Raheem, on Christmas Day.
The State preferred a one-count charge of murder contrary to Section 223 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015 against the defendant.
Vandi pleaded not guilty
The arraignment, which was scheduled for 9 am, suffered some delay until about 11 am when Vandi’s counsel, Mr. Adetokunbo Odutola arrived.
Recall Matthew Ahmed, a fellow officer testified before a court in the murder trial of Drambi Vandi.
Mr. Ahmed told the court that he was one of the three police officers from the division deployed to the Ajah underbridge, on 25 December.
The suspended officer fatally shot Mrs Raheem, an expectant mother, on Christmas day.
