Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The name of the police officer who shot and killed Bolanle Raheem on Sunday in Lagos has been made public.<\/p>\n

The revelation was not done by the police but by the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), an organisation the deceased belonged to.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Public Secretary, Habeeb Lawal disclosed the body of lawyers got the name of the alleged culprit.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe NBA is able to report that the Lagos State Police Command has confirmed that the suspected murderer of our member is one ASP Drambi Vandi\u201d, he announced.<\/p>\n

The spokesperson further revealed that the errant officer has been in service for 33 years.<\/p>\n

On Monday, separate statements by the Inspector-General and the Lagos State Police Command were silent on the shooter\u2019s name.<\/p>\n

The covering was condemned by Nigerians, who wondered why the security agency concealed such important information.<\/p>\n

The NBA\u2019s disclosure now puts Vandi\u2019s name out as expected in a case that could be prosecuted as first-degree murder.<\/p>\n

Bolanle and her husband were returning from an outing on Christmas Day when they were flagged down near Ajah bridge.<\/p>\n

The police team that stopped them followed their car, after which Vandi opened fire for a reason yet to ascertained.<\/p>\n

In a video, the CEO of Tiannah Place Empire, Toyin Lawani, described the deceased as a peaceful person.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe police told them to park. There was a car in front of them, so they were about to park, and he shot her in the chest.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe went to get pizza for Christmas; she was shot in front of her daughter. Bolanle died on the spot; she was pregnant.<\/p>\n

\u201cNigeria Police, when are you going to stop giving these drunkards uniform. These people on the road disturb everybody\u2019s peace for no reason\u201d, Lawani fumed.<\/p>\n
