The Police Service Commission (PSC) has approved the suspension of ASP Drambi Vandi for shooting and killing a Lagos lawyer, Mrs. Bolanle Raheem.
Mr. Ikechukwu Ani, the Head of Press and Public Relations of PSC, announced the development on Thursday in Abuja.
The suspension is with immediate effect.
Ani said the commission had also directed that the final investigation into the matter is concluded to enable the commission to take further necessary action.
“The commission, in a letter to the Inspector General of Police (I-G), signed by its acting Chairman, Justice Clara Ogunbiyi, has carefully examined the facts of the case.
“It has granted the approval of the suspension of the officer from duty with immediate effect after observing allegations brought against him,” he said.
Ani further noted that the commission had earlier condemned the unprovoked killing of the lawyer and had demanded a thorough investigation into the matter.
He said the commission has also called for proper training of Police personnel on weapon management.
Raheem was shot and killed by Vandi in Ajah, Lagos State on Christmas Day.
