A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, has accused the Lagos State Government of cover-up in the barbaric murder of 22-year-old Bus Rapid Transit passenger, Oluwabamise Ayanwole.
The senior lawyer said the Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu administration must come out clean on the matter and stop “criminally packaging” the BRT driver and prime suspect in the case, Andrew Nice, who drove the victim when her abduction occurred.
Viral videos show that the driver when apprehended by the Department of State Services confessed to having raped the deceased but in a follow-up video in branded government outfit, Nice recanted.
Adegboruwa said the Sanwo-Olu government has a lot of questions to answer and therefore urged the Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba, to take up the case for justice to be served.
The senior advocate made this known in a statement on Tuesday titled, ‘Murder inside BRT: IGP and Federal Government should take over investigation’.
According to the PPRO, the suspected ritualists dumped the dismembered and uncompleted remains of the lady on the Carter Bridge by Ogogoro Community.
Ayanwola got missing while returning to Ota from Ajah on February 26 when she boarded a BRT bus with number 240257 going to Oshodi at about 7pm at Chevron Bus-Stop.
The victim, who worked as a fashion designer in Ajah spent her weekends in Ota, Ogun State, with her sister, had sent some voice notes to a friend when she sensed danger on the bus.
