The Lagos High Court Sitting at the Tafawa Balewa Square on Lagos Island has sentenced the suspended Assistant Superintendent of Police, Drambi Vandi, who killed a Lagos-based lawyer, Mrs. Omobolanle Raheem, to death by hanging.

According to Channels, Justice Ibironke Harrison on Monday sentenced the ASP after finding him guilty of the murder of the pregnant lawyer.

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.

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.
