Wanted BRT bus driver, Mr Nice Andrew Omininikoron, who is alleged to have been involved in picking the Lagos based lady, Oluwabamise Ayanwole from Chevron, Lekki to her death has been arrested by the Police.

The Police Public Relations Officer of the Lagos State Command, CSP Adekunle Ajisebutu confirmed the arrest of the suspect.

The police spokesman had earlier confirmed the death of Ms Oluwabamise Ayanwole, whose corpse, he said was found under Carter Bridge, Lagos Island.

The confirmation of the death of Ayanwole whose body was mutilated was contained in a statement issued by the Police Command in Lagos State.

According to the statement; “The Lagos State Police Command regrets to inform the public that Oluwabamise Ayanwole, the 22-year-old lady who got missing in transit while on board a BRT bus on 26/2/2022 has been found dead.

“The corpse was found lying on the Carter Bridge by Ogogoro Community, Lagos Lagos Island. The corpse has been deposited at the morgue of the Mainland Hospital, Yaba, for autopsy.

“The bereaved family has been contacted and family members have identified the corpse as that of Oluwabamise Ayanwole, the lady earlier declared missing.

“The Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Alabi, is saddened by this incident and, therefore, expresses, on behalf of the management, officers and men of the command, his heartfelt condolence to the bereaved family,” the police said.

Ayanwola was believed to be returning to Ota from Ajah on Saturday, February 26, when she boarded the BRT bus en route to Oshodi at about 7:00pm at Chevron bus stop.

It was gathered that sensing danger as the bus did not pick any other passenger at subsequent bus stops, the Late Oluwabamise reportedly engaged a friend using voice notes on her phone.

The voice notes indicated 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, way before Oshodi.

Her phone was later not reachable which led her relations to declare her missing.
