The Lagos BRT driver who killed Bamise has been sentenced to death by hanging.
Newsone Nigeria reports that a Lagos State High Court sitting at the Tafawa Balewa Square has sentenced a driver, Andrew Nice Ominikoron, to death by hanging.
Ominikoron, a driver of the Lagos Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), was sentenced to death for killing Bamise Ayanwola, a 22-year-old fashion designer.
This online news platform understands that the trial judge, Sherifat Sonaike, gave the verdict on Friday, May 2, 2025.
Ominikoron and others now at large were accused of conspiring, raping and killed Bamise.
In February 2022, Bamise entered a BRT bus but never got to her destination.
Security operatives later found her naked body by the roadside.
The driver of the BRT she boarded was eventually arrested and charged to court for murder.
The driver, Ominikoron, pleaded not guilty, but he has now been convicted and sentenced to death.
