    Drambi Vandi, the suspended assistant superintendent of police who was arrested over the murder of female lawyer Raheem Bolanle, has pleaded not guilty after being arraigned in court today, January 16.

    Vandi who was arraigned on one count of murder before the Lagos State High Court, Tafawa Balewa Square annex, was accused of shooting Bolanle in Ajah area of Lagos on Christmas Day.

    Bolanle’s death generated widespread criticism from many persons and groups in the country, as they condemned what they described as extrajudicial killing, linking the incident to be one of such reasons for the nationwide #EndSARS protest of 2020.
