The Lagos High Court, sitting at Tafawa Balewa Square, has sentenced a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) driver, Andrew Ominikoron, to death by hanging for the r@pe and m$rder of 22-year-old fashion designer, Bamise Ayanwola.
Justice Serifat Sonaike delivered the judgment today, May 2nd, ruling that the Lagos State Government, acting as the prosecution, had proven beyond reasonable doubt that the defendant was guilty.
The judge stated, "For the death of Oluwabamise Ayanwola, you will be hanged by the neck until you are dead. May God have mercy on you."
Andrew was originally charged with four counts, including r@pe, conspiracy with others (who are still at large), and the m$rder of the 22-year-old on the Lekki-Ajah Conservation Expressway on February 26, 2022.
