Tamarauemi Ebimini

The police in Lagos State say the two officers arrested with Dambri Vandi (an assistant superintendent of police) over the killing of a Lagos lawyer, Omobolale Raheem, would be released today (Tuesday) as they were not involved in the crime.

The police spokesperson in the state, Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed this to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday, while giving an update on the killing.

NAN reports that the police in Lagos, on Christmas Day, arrested Mr Vandi and two other officers attached to Ajiwe police station in Ajah area of Lagos for allegedly killing Mrs Raheem.

Mr Hundeyin said the officers were taken into protective custody immediately and were later transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department for thorough investigation.

He said that the two police officers arrested with the ASP were detained for interrogation and testimonies.

On the update about similar killing of one Gafaru Buraimoh on 7 December by a police officer from the same Ajiwe police station, Mr Hundeyin said the officer is still in detention but is yet to be charged to court.

The police spokesperson said the police officer was yet to be arraigned because his dismissal order has not been released.

Mr Hundeyin said there was nothing wrong with the spot or area where the killings took place, but the officers, who killed would be held responsible for their actions.
