March 11, 2022

A Yaba Magistrates’ court in Lagos on Friday, ordered that a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) driver, Andrew Omininikoron, be remanded for 30 days in Ikoyi custodial centre for alleged murder and rape of 22-year-old girl, Oluwabamise Ayankole.

Recall that late Bamise got missing while returning to Ota from Ajah on February 26 when she boarded a BRT bus with number 240257 going to Oshodi at about 7pm at Chevron Bus-Stop.

The victim, who worked as a fashion designer in Ajah spent her weekends in Ota, Ogun State, with her sister, had sent some voice notes to a friend when she sensed danger on the bus.

But the Police Public Relations Officer in Lagos, Adekunle Ajisebutu, announced on Monday that the dead body of Bamise was found on the Carter Bridge by Ogogoro Community.
