VerseNews learnt that the incident occurred on Christmas Day in 2022 at the Ajah roundabout in Lagos when Vandi allegedly shot and killed Mrs. Raheem, who was pregnant.

Vandi, who was attached to the Ajiwe police division in Ajah, was suspended two days after the incident.

The court trial started in January, and several witnesses testified against Vandi, while he was the only witness in his defense.
