Oluwabamise Ayanwole, who was declared missing by the family after boarding a Lagos State Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) on 26 February, 2022, has been found dead at Ebute Ero, Lagos state.
A report which cannot be independently verified revealed that the 22 years old girl was pushed out of the moving bus.
However, in a statement on Monday by the Lagos State Police spokesperson, CSP Adekunle Ajisebutu said that “The Lagos State Police Command regrets to inform the public that Oluwabamise Ayanwole, the 22-year-old lady who got missing in transit while onboard a BRT bus on 26th February 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.
He added that 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.
“Notwithstanding the death of Oluwabamise, the detectives handling the case would not rest on their oars until her killers are found.
“We, therefore, assure the concerned public and the bereaved family that we are closing on the culprits and we are sure that soon the suspects would be arrested and made to face justice for this murderous act.”
He solicited the cooperation of all and sundry while asking for additional information that could help the police in arresting the suspects. Such information, we assure you, will be treated with the utmost confidentiality.
Oluwabamise Ayanwole was said to have boarded the BRT bus with body number: 240257 from Chevron bus stop, Ajah to Oshodi about 7pm. Along the journey, her suspicion of likely sinister motives by the BRT driver led to establishing a conversational chat with her friend, galvanising to sending some pictures and videos clips while asking the friend to pray for her safe arrival.
Unfortunately, she never arrived at her destination.
Meanwhile, it was alleged that her private part was ripped off.
A relative of the victim confirmed on Monday that they have identified the body and “We are at the morgue. We have confirmed the corpse.”
It was gathered that the victim worked as a Fashion Designer at Chevron Estate, Ajah and spent weekends at Ota, Ogun State, with her sister.
