EKO HOT BLOG reports that the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has said that the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) that the late Oluwabamishe Ayanwole boarded before she was killed was locally supplied and has no inbuilt camera.

Bamise boarded a bus after work on February 26 at the Chevron Bus-stop in Lekki on her way to her brother Pelumi’s house.

During the journey, the 22-year-old sent voice notes and videos to friends, complaining that the driver didn’t pick anyone else after her and that she was becoming suspicious of the journey. That was the last time anyone saw her.

She was later seen at Ebute Ero after being thrown out of a moving bus, according to residents. She died at the scene not long after.

Andrew Nice Omininikoron, the bus driver, was arrested one week after her murder and is currently in police custody.

Sanwo-Olu assured journalists on Tuesday, March 8, at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena in Onikan to commemorate International Women’s Day that investigations are still ongoing.

He explained that the bus on which Bamise boarded did not have an in-built camera.

“There were inbuilt cameras and trackers in buses procured abroad for BRT operations. But those acquired locally to shore up the BRT fleet did not have cameras.

“The particular bus in which the slain victim rode was one of the buses locally supplied,” a statement signed by Sanwo-Olu’s spokesman, Gboyega Akosile, read.

It was earlier reported that Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, has accused the Lagos State Government of covering up the barbaric murder of Oluwabamise Ayanwole, a 22-year-old Bus Rapid Transit passenger.

The senior lawyer stated that the administration of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu must come clean on the matter and stop “criminally packaging” the BRT driver and prime suspect in the case, Andrew Nice, who drove the victim when she was abducted.

According to viral videos, when apprehended by the Department of State Services, the driver confessed to raping the deceased, but in a follow-up video in a branded government outfit, Nice recanted.

Adegboruwa stated that the Sanwo-Olu administration has many questions to answer and urged the Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba, to take up the case so that justice could be served.

The senior advocate stated this in a statement titled ‘Murder inside BRT: IGP and Federal Government should take over investigation’ on Tuesday.
