The Lagos High Court Sitting at the Tafawa Balewa Square on Lagos Island, on Monday, sentenced the suspended Assistant Superintendent of Police, Drambi Vandi, who killed a Lagos-based lawyer, Mrs. Omobolanle Raheem, to death by hanging.
Justice Ibironke Harrison sentenced the ASP after finding him guilty of the murder of the pregnant lawyer.
According to The Punch, Harrison held that the prosecution was able to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt.
The judge also held that the convict shot the deceased at close range.
In its own version, Channels TV reports that on January 16, the Lagos State Government arraigned Vandi before the court for shooting to death the 41-year-old pregnant lawyer at the Ajah underbridge checkpoint on December 25, 2022.
The convict faced a one-count charge of murder contrary to Section 223 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.
“The court finds the defendant guilty on one count of murder. You will be hanged by the neck till you are dead.” the judge held.
