Lagos BRT driver to die by hanging for Bamise’s murder
The Lagos High Court sitting at the Tafawa Balewa Square has convicted and sentenced to death, a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) driver, Andrew Ominikoron, for the murder of a 22-year-old fashion designer, Bamise Ayanwola.
He is to die by hanging.
Ominikoron, a driver of the Lagos Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), was sentenced to death for killing Bamise Ayanwola, a 22-year-old fashion designer.
Sherifat Sonaike, the trial judge, gave the verdict on Friday.
Ominikoron and others now at large were accused of conspiring, raping and killed Bamise.
In February 2022, Bamise entered a BRT bus but never got to her destination.
Security operatives later found her naked body by the road side.
The driver of the BRT she boarded was eventually arrested and charged to court for murder.
The driver, Ominikoron, pleaded not guilty but he has now been convicted and sentenced to death.
