Drambi Vandi, the suspended assistant superintendent of police, has pleaded not guilty to the murder of female lawyer Raheem Bolanle.
She was returning home from an outing with her family when she was shot.
Raheem’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. Vandi was arrested and appeared before Chief Magistrate C.A. Adedayo on December 30, 2022, a day after the Police Service Commission approved his suspension.All rights reserved.
