The police have defended Drambi Vandi, a cop under investigation for killing a pregnant Lagos lawyer, Bolanle Raheem. The Nigerian police claimed Mr Vandi might have acted under a spell.

Police spokesman Olumuyiwa Adejobi, speaking on Splash FM Radio in Abeokuta, the Ogun state capital, in a recent interview, described Mr Vandi as a “very nice man” and likely a victim of diabolical manipulation.

“I’m sure many elders will know what they called efun, edi, aransi, asasi, ebilu… Whatever that happens in the physical realm is controlled in the spiritual realm. That’s the spiritual aspect of it,” said the police in defence of the cop.

Mr Adejobi added, “The man was never a drunk. In fact, I was told he is a very nice man. I know him… The guy has been a very good man. Forget the story that he was this or that while in Niger. He was never in Niger state command.”

“He is a very nice man. I think he is from Plateau state…”, Mr ‘Adejobi said.

Mr Vandi was arrested for shooting and killing Ms Raheem on Christmas Day.

He was arraigned before the Chief Magistrate Court, Yaba, on one count of murder and remanded at the Ikoyi Prisons pending legal advice from the director of public prosecution (DPP).

I don't trust people gazette, but if this statement is authentic, the person that made it should be sent to a psychiatrist immediately.

JAMO84:
I trust people gazette, This statement is authentic.

edi, aransi, asasi, ebilu…shiit are not recognized in the Nigeria Court of Law

Take the killer police to count immediately.

Of course he may be a good man

But that doesn't stop him from going to jail

Whatever that happens in the physical realm is controlled in the spiritual realm. That’s the spiritual aspect of it,” said the police in defence of the cop.







Gosh

Are you for real ?

Wait, what?? Is this playing?

Spell/witchcraft should be left for nollywood.

A police man said all these jargons and shenanigans?!
(Actually the police spokes person!)
This is unbelievable!
This is simply PREPOSTEROUS!!!

He should be sentenced to prison for being this foolish, come on cop!
This one is more like a herbalist, not a cop!

Face of the killer below,
Mr Nice Man (pukes)

God bless Russia

He described Mr Vandi as a “very nice man” and likely a victim of diabolical manipulation.

Nice man kee am dia

Nobodysboo:
After killing a pregnant civilian, they're calling him a nice man. Nigeria cruise don tire me

This is actually sickening to the stomach.

yinkus6750:

The police spokesperson is simply DUMB!!

abikason:
So is that his ground for defense?

Sleekfingers:

Yeye...wetin concern court with asasi ?

You sef talk am?!
So all the people blaming the devil for their crimes should simply be left alone,
That is what this mumu cop is saying.

Double wahala for the victim!
Salt added to her injury death!

Death to all NPF.
Ugm pls keep doing your good work.

To be honest, if you read what happened, you'll understand why the police is saying this.

From what we heard, it was a stop and search operation. The police man was said to have asked them to pull over. As they were waiting for the car in front of them to move so that they could park well, the unfortunate incident happened.

I mean, there was no justification whatsoever for him to have done that. The first thing that came to my mind when I read that story was accidental discharge of firearm.

The story went further to say that the suspect also threatened to shoot the sister of the deceased. Asin, does that look ordinary? I think he panicked or something like that.

Honestly, I feel for both families. The family of the deceased for losing a loved one and the family of the suspect for the shame and misery he brought to them. Thirty three years of service all gone down the drain in split seconds. He's definitely going to spend a long time in prison.

I know we're angry and disappointed. But after all the emotions, let's sit down to properly analysed what might have happened. Let's temper Justice with mercy.

Would I have said this if she was my loved one? I don't know.

RIP to her and I pray the family gets the fortitude to bear this grate lost and I pray justice is served.

Wetin musa no go see for gate

I'm not surprised

Maybe...a spell by the relatives of the innocent lives he had taken or people he had extorted in the course of his duty . Karma isn't wicked, it will strike at the appropriate time.

Na wa o..

So, police believes in efun, edi, asasi and other diabolical spiritual spell

What happens when they arrest an armed robber, kidnapper, ritualist and other heinous crime perpetrators and they also claim they are under spell, edi, asasi and the mother of it all... "Ise esu" (Devils handwork)....will they release such people Will the law pardon them

This is just unthinkable excuse from Police Spokesman...Terrible!!!

Nigeria

What manner of reportage is this?

Now it's obvious that some media are bent on adding more fuel to the raging fire?

After saying all these, the PPRO ended by asserting that this isn't to absolve him as he's facing the music and that Lagos State Govt and not the police is prosecuting him.

This headline is pure gaslighting and I urge the MODs to take it down.

ThoughtOfYou:
Crazy place - Nigeria

Are you guys surprised ？

Ok

If care is not taken, the killer policeman will only be arrested on camera.

Nothing evil wey devil no fit do, it's just that God's grace and mercies save us all.

THIS Kind HEADLINE na waaaaah !!!

That is just one man's opinion NOT the Police Authority !
