The Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba, has recommended the suspension of Drambi Vandi, the trigger-happy Assistant Superintendent of Police who killed a Lagos-based lawyer, Bolanle Raheem.

The IGP, in a statement by the Force spokesman, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, noted that the suspension is also 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 also 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.
