A police officer in Nigeria has been sentenced to death by hanging for the murder of Lagos-based lawyer Bolanle Raheem.
A Lagos State High Court judge found Drambi Vandi guilty of shooting Mrs. Raheem, who was pregnant with twins, at close range on Christmas Day in 2022.
Mrs. Raheem had been in a car with her husband and other family members driving back from church when the stop-and-search clash happened with police.
Vandi had denied the murder charge in court, arguing the bullet presented in court was not from his gun.
The Raheem family’s lawyer said they were satisfied with the judgment. END.
