Bolanle Raheem: Court Dismisses No-Case Submission Filed By Inspector Vandi
The no-case submission of Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP), Drambi Vandi, who allegedly killed a Lagos-based lawyer, Omobolanle Raheem, on December 25, 2022 has been dismissed by a Lagos State High Court sitting at the Tafawa Balewa Square Annex, Lagos Island.
The defendant had on February 28, 2023, filed an application with the court in an attempt to have the accusation brought against him by the Lagos state government annulled on the basis of poor and inconsistent evidence linking him to the murder.
But, Justice Ibironke Harrison held that the prosecution led by the Attorney-General of Lagos, Moyosore Onigbanjo (SAN) had established sufficient oral and documentary evidence linking the defendant to the crime, which required explanation from him.
The court added that the evidence of the defendant, being the only other eye witness who had yet to testify before it about the incident, will shed light on what happened that day.
