The Lagos State Police Command has confirmed that the trigger-happy cop (Drambi Vandi) who killed Mrs Bolanle Raheem is still being held in detention, despite the fact that investigations into the case are stepping up.

SP Benjamin Hundeyin, the command spokesman who shared a photo of the officer, revealed this in a short Twitter post, saying that investigations have revealed that the other two officers who were with Drambi had no involvement in the shooting incident.

“They have, therefore, been released,” Hundeyin tweeted.

He also stated that a report on the current investigations has been forwarded to the Force Headquarters in Abuja for further action.

SP Hundeyin, on the other hand, stated that claims that the officer responsible for the shooting had been released were completely false.

The latest information on the assassination of the Lagos-based lawyer comes just hours after the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Usman Alkali Baba, recommended Drambi Vandi’s suspension.

According to a statement issued by the Force’s spokesman, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the IGP’s suspension is expected to create an enabling environment for necessary legal procedures to uphold justice in the case without interference.

“The suspension is without prejudice to the constitutional presumption of innocence in favour of the officer.

“The IGP has reaffirmed the commitment of the Force to the Rule of Law and assured the public of his administration’s commitment to ensuring that justice is not just done but seen to have been manifestly done in the matter.

“He, therefore, appeals to the public to be calm as all hands are on deck to ensure justice prevails while measures have been put in place to prevent future occurrences.”
