Damilola Titilayo Ayanwola, elder sister of the lady who was kidnapped in a BRT bus and murdered, Bamise Ayanwola, has cried out to President Muhammadu Buhari and Lagos Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu to force the Police and fish out the killers of the deceased.
Bamise’s sister who spoke to the press on Tuesday in company of the lead counsel, Barrister Ayo Ademiluyi and some family members lamented that the death of Bamise who is the last child of tbe family is traumatic to her and their aged parents because of the nature of her gruesome murder and alleged complicity of the driver of Lagos Bus Services Limited (LBSL), Nice Andrew Omininikoron, in the matter.
Speaking on how the family got to know of Bamise’s death, bereaved Damilola said efforts to locate the whereabouts of Bamise met a brick wall initially as the police station they reported the case to did not act swiftly.
“My mind is heavy because it took a long time, weeks for the Police to locate the driver that conveyed Bamise. All the efforts we made at the police station and at the BRT Bus office was abortive as they did not believe us.
“My sister’s death is very painful because she is such a lovely and caring person who worked to earn a living and care for our parents. I am demanding for Justice for Bamise because if the BRT Bus which is a government bus can carry out this murder to my sister, then we are not all safe in Lagos because it could happen to anybody.
“I want Gov Sanwo-Olu and the Commissioner of Police to fish out the killers of my sister because she must not die in vain,” Damilola wept.
The lead counsel, Barrister Ayo Ademiluyi said that the murder of Bamise calls for Justice because of the way the Police have handled the matter. He noted that the family would take legal action against the LBSL and the State Government if their demand were not met.
The family is set to make a protest at Alausa today even as it was gathered that the Lagos State Government has moved to visit the family of the deceased.
Recall that 22-year-old lady, Miss Oluwabamise Ayanwola, who was last seen inside the Lagos Bus Rapid Transit vehicle on Saturday, February 26 was found dead and the Police on Monday arrested the driver, Nice Andrew Omininikoron.
Ayanwola got missing while returning to Ota from Ajah when she boarded a BRT bus with number 240257 going to Oshodi at about 7 p.m. at Chevron Bus-Stop.
