The remains of Bamise Ayanwola, who was found dead after boarding a bus belonging to the Bus Rapid Transport scheme in February, have been buried.
The 22- year -old fashion designer was buried at Atan Cemetery, Yaba, in Lagos on Friday.
TheIdeal News recalls that Bamise went missing after boarding a bus at the Chevron area of Lekki on her way to Oshodi. Her dead body was found days later.
But a BRT driver, Andrew Omininikoron , who was behind the death of Bamise, is facing counts of conspiracy, rape and murder over Bamise’s death.
Omininikoron was said to be conveying the victim to a destination in Oshodi when Bamise observed that he refused to pick other passengers on the road.
She reportedly contacted one of her colleagues at work, Felicia Omolara, to inform her about her suspicion and she was advised to disembark from the bus.
Omolara, however, noted that when her friend no longer responded to her chats on WhatsApp, she called her phone number, adding that when she picked up the call, a man was heard arguing with Bamise
When the body was discovered, the slain 22-year-old lady was reportedly found with some body parts missing.
Meanwhile, the suspect later claimed that he had no connection with the fashion designer’s death but was only following instructions of her abductors who held him and Bamise hostage on the bus.
