The Lagos High Court sitting at the Tafawa Balewa Square has convicted and sentenced to death a Bus Rapid Transit, BRT driver, Andrew Ominikoron, for the murder of a 22-year-old fashion designer, Bamise Ayanwola.

In a judgment that lasted over two and a half hours, Justice Serifat Sonaike held that the prosecution, the Lagos State Government, successfully proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant committed the offence.

Ominikoron faced a five-count charge including murder, conspiracy, and rape in connection with Bamise’s death, the sexual assault of Anosike, and the rape of one Maryland Ojiezelu.
