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.
Justice Ibironke Harrison delivered the verdict, stating that the prosecution had convincingly proven the case.
The judge also emphasized that Vandi shot the victim at close range.
This tragic incident occurred on Christmas Day the previous year in the Ajah neighborhood of Lagos, when Raheem, who was pregnant, was fatally shot while returning from church.
The perpetrator, later identified as ASP Vandi from Ajiwe Police Station, has now faced the consequences of his actions.
This case garnered national attention when it happened in 2022.
