Policemen from the Lagos State Police Command on Monday have arrested the driver of a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), who drove and murdered 22-year-old, Miss Oluwabamise Ayanwole.
The Lagos Police Spokesman, Adekunle Ajisebutu, made this known even as he confirmed that the dead body of the lady has been found.
He also said the killers of Ayanwola, who got missing in transit while onboard the bus, would face justice.
22-year-old lady, Miss Oluwabamise Ayanwola, who was last seen inside the Lagos Bus Rapid Transit vehicle, was found dead.
One of Ayanwola’s relatives confirmed this to a newspaper correspondent.
“We are at the morgue. We have confirmed the corpse,” the relative said in an emotional-laden voice.
It was learnt that Ayanwola got missing while returning to Ota from Ajah on Saturday, February 26, when she boarded a BRT bus with number 240257 going to Oshodi at about 7 p.m. at Chevron Bus-Stop.
The victim worked as a Fashion Designer at Chevron Estate, Ajah and spent weekends at Ota, Ogun State, with her sister.
Sensing danger as the bus did not pick any other passenger at subsequent bus stops, Oluwabamise had engaged a friend using voice notes on her phone.
The voice notes showed that the bus driver said he liked Oluwabamise and asked for her name and other details.
She told her friend to pray for her as she became suspicious of the bus driver and in response, the friend told her to alight at Oworonsoki bus stop — before Oshodi bus stop.
Oluwabamise had also sent a video to her friend showing how dark it was in the bus and said, “There are three men and one woman in the bus. The woman is sitting at the back. That’s the number of the bus in case. Please pray for me.’’
That was the last that was heard from Oluwabamise, according to her mother.
The PPRO who disclosed about the arrest said, the abductors dumped the remains of the lady on the Carter Bridge by Ogogoro Community.
