How Policeman, Vandi Killed Raheem During Stop-And-Search - Police Witness

Matthew Ahmen, an Inspector of Police, who happens to be a colleague of Drambi Vandi, who allegedly killed female lawyer Bolanle Raheem, has given witness against him.

Ahmen told a Lagos State High Court sitting at the Tafawa Balewa Square on Monday that they were conducting a stop and search when the incident happened.

He said Vandi who was the leader of their team was behind while he was in the middle, and another colleague, Inspector Dimini, was in the front.

Ahmen who was the first prosecution witness said when Dimini saw a car coming, he flagged it down but the car didn’t stop, and when the car got to where he was standing, he also flagged the car down but the car didn’t stop as well.

He said, “The next thing I heard was a gunshot and I looked back to see what was happening and I saw that a windscreen was falling.

“The next thing I saw again was a dark woman who jumped down from the vehicle and I heard her saying that ‘oga you have killed my sister.’ The woman held him and before I and Dimini could get to them, they had entered the car, locked it, and left.”

Earlier, Vandi was arraigned on one count of murder before Justice Ibironke Harrison.

He pleaded not guilty to the charge against him and the trial commenced immediately.
