Inspector Matthew Ahmen, a colleague of Drambi Vandi, who allegedly killed female lawyer, Bolanle Raheem, has informed a Lagos State High Court sitting at the Tafawa Balewa Square, that they were conducting a stop and search when the incident happened.
Ahmen, on Monday, said Vandi being the leader of their team was behind while he was in the middle, and another colleague, Inspector Dimini, was in the front.
The first prosecution witness (Ahmen) said when Dimini saw a car coming, he flagged it down but the car did not stop, and when the car got to where he was standing, he also flagged the car down but the car did not stop as well.
He said, “The next thing I heard was a gunshot and I looked back to see what was happening and I saw that a windscreen was falling. The next thing I saw again was a dark woman who jumped down from the vehicle and I heard her saying that ‘oga you have killed my sister.’ The woman held him and before I and Dimini could get to them, they had entered the car, locked it, and left.”
Earlier, Vandi was arraigned on one count of murder before Justice Ibironke Harrison.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) recalls that the President of the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, Yakubu Maikyau, SAN, had assured Nigerians that justice will prevail in the case.
Raheem was murdered on the 25th December, 2022. She was allegedly shot by Vandi in her car in the presence of her family in the Ajah area of Lagos last Christmas and was rushed to the hospital where she was confirmed dead.
