ASP Drambi Vandi, Bolanle Raheem
Drambi Vandi, the suspended assistant superintendent of police who was arrested over the murder of female lawyer Bolanle Raheem, has pleaded not guilty after his arraignment in court Monday, January 16.
Vandi, who was arraigned on one count of murder before the Lagos State High Court, Tafawa Balewa Square annex, was accused of shooting Bolanle in the Ajah area of Lagos on Christmas Day.
Bolanle’s death generated widespread criticism from many persons and groups in the country, as they condemned what they described as extrajudicial killing, linking the incident to be one of such reasons for the nationwide #EndSARS protest of 2020.
The Police Service Commission (PSC) granted approval for the police officer’s suspension on December 29, after which he was arraigned by the Lagos state government.
His arraignment which was scheduled for 9am, suffered some delay until about 11am when his counsel, Mr Adetokunbo Odutola arrived.
