Update Bamise’s murder: Lagos state government to arraign BRT driver Andrew Nice today

The Lagos state government will today March 22 arraign the Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) driver, Andrew Nice Omininikoron, accused of murdering 22-year-old fashion designer, Oluwabamise Ayanwola.

Nice will be arraigned before Justice Sherifat Sonaike of the Lagos High Court sitting at the Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS) on a four-count charge of conspiracy, murder, and two counts of rape.

The arraignment follows legal advice from the office of the Director of Public Prosecution, Dr Jide Martins, recommending the prosecution of the BRT driver.

Recall that Bamise went missing on February 26 after boarding the BRT bus that was going to Oshodi at about 7pm at Chevron Bus-stop. Until her death, she worked as a fashion designer at Chevron Estate in Ajah, Lagos, but spent the weekends at Ota, Ogun State, with her sister. Sadly, her body was found dumped by the roadside on Carter Bridge, Lagos Island.
