A Lagos State High Court sitting in Tafawa Balewa Square, on Monday ordered a suspended Assistant Superintendent of Police, Drambi Vandi, who allegedly killed a Lagos-based lawyer, Omobolanle Raheem, on Christmas Day in 2022, to open his case.
He asked the court to quash the murder charge against the defendant and discharge him, arguing that he had no case to answer.
The prosecution led by the state Attorney General and Commissioner of Justice, Moyosore Onigbanjo , however, countered the arguments and urged the defendant to defend himself, insisting that the prosecution has successfully made its case against him.When the matter came on Monday, Justice Harrison, in her ruling, dismissed the no-case submission.
“The prosecution has established a prima facie case requiring some explanation by the defendant. The court isn’t looking at the credibility of the prosecution witnesses at this stage. The court will not delve into the substantive case right now.
