Justice Ibironke Harrison of a Lagos High Court sitting at Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS), on Monday sentenced a suspended Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Drambi Vandi to death by hanging for the murder of a Lagos-based lawyer, Mrs Omobolanle Raheem.
Justice Harrison gave the verdict after convicting Vandi of a one count charge of murder brought against him by the state.
Justice Harrison held that the prosecution had proven its case against the convict beyond reasonable doubt.
The Judge held that the evidence of the 11 witnesses who testified for the prosecution was credible and convincing enough to convict the suspended Police officer.
Justice Harrison, therefore, sentenced the convict to death accordingly.
“You are to be hung by the neck until you are dead. May God have mercy on your soul", she said.
The Lagos State government had arraigned Vandi before the court for allegedly shooting to death the 41-year-old pregnant lawyer at the Ajah underbridge checkpoint on December 25, 2022.
Vandi had faced a one-count charge of murder contrary to Section 223 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015
