The prosecution, the Lagos State Government proved the case against Vandi beyond all reasonable doubt.
Vandi was arraigned before the court on January 16 for shooting to death the 41-year-old pregnant lawyer at the Ajah underbridge checkpoint on December 25, 2022.
He faced a one-count charge of murder contrary to Section 223 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.
Harrison said:
“The court finds the defendant guilty on one count of murder. You will be hanged by the neck till you are dead.”
