Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar has condemned the death of 22-year-old Miss Oluwabamise Ayanwole who was reported missing in transit on Feb. 26 and was allegedly killed in Lagos after boarding a Lagos Bus Rapid Transit.

Atiku made this known in a series of tweets on Tuesday just as he demanded for justice for murdered Oluwabamise saying that he hopes that ‘the culprit(s) will be brought to book’

He said: ‘The reports of the murder of 22-year-old Miss Oluwabamise Ayanwole, who went missing on a Lagos Bus Rapid Transit vehicle, is heartbreaking.

‘The act of taking the life of another human under any circumstance is despicable. I hope that the culprit(s) will be brought to book.

‘The family, especially the mother, needs all the support and assistance to overcome this tragedy.

Oluwabamise Ayanwole’s corpse was found on Carter Bridge by Ogogoro Community on the Lagos Island according to Police spokesman, CSP Adekunle Ajisebutu

The corpse has been deposited at the morgue of the Mainland Hospital, Yaba, for autopsy.

Oluwabamise was said to have worked as a Fashion Designer at Chevron Estate, Ajah, and spent weekends at Ota, Ogun State, with her sister.

She was returning to Ota from Ajah on Saturday, Feb. 26 when she boarded a BRT bus with number 240257 going to Oshodi at about 7 p.m. at Chevron Bus-Stop.

Bus conductor docked for stabbing passenger

Sensing danger as the bus did not pick any other passenger at subsequent bus stops, Oluwabamise engaged a friend using voice notes on her phone

The voice notes showed 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 bus stop.

Oluwabamise also sent a video to her friend showing how dark it was in the bus and said: “there are three men and one woman in the bus. The woman is sitting at the back. That’s the number of the bus in case. Please pray for me.’’
