A Chief Magistrate’s Court sitting in Yaba, Lagos, has remanded Drambi Vandi, the Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) who allegedly killed Mrs. Omobolanle Raheem in Lagos on Christmas Day.
Mrs Raheem, a Lagos based lawyer, was shot in the Ajah area of Lagos inside her car, while she was returning from an outing with her family.
Her mother disclosed that the deceased was pregnant with twins.
The incident has sparked widespread criticisms, with the Lagos Police Command disclosing that the officer in question is currently in detention.

The Police Service Commission suspended Vandi from the force over the incident.
However, Vandi was arraigned in court on Friday morning. He will be in detention until January 30, 2023, when the Office of the Lagos State Directorate of Public Prosecutions (DPP), would have issued an advice on the case.
In a tweet, Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of Lagos Command, Benjamin Hundeyin, said, “Drambi Vandi was, this morning, arraigned in court and has been remanded at the Ikoyi Correctional Centre till January 30, 2023 to give room for DPP advice.”
