Ayanwole Oluwabamise; missing BRT passenger

Two people have been detained in connection with the disappearance of Ayanwole Oluwabamise, a 22-year-old fashion designer.

Oluwabamise was last seen on February 26 after boarding a BRT bus from Chevron Bus Stop in Lekki to Oshodi about 7 p.m.

Two suspects have been apprehended and are providing vital information to investigators at the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Panti, according to Lagos State Commissioner of Police Abiodun Alabi.

Alabi urged locals to refrain from making statements or doing acts that may compromise investigations.

The CP mentioned that the BRT driver is yet to be apprehended.

Reports over the weekend had it that the missing lady sent distress messages to her friend when she felt uncomfortable in the BRT bus as a result of the driver’s conduct.

She sent the vehicle details to her friend and asked her to pray for her in case anything happened to her.

“The case is delicate and we are being careful to avoid jeopardizing the investigation. The young girl is yet to be found. The suspect too disappeared almost the same time.

“So, releasing names of those in custody or giving certain details could tip him off or even put the victim in more danger.

“Suspect, who hails from Moba Local Government Area in Ekiti State, is about 5 feet plus tall, dark in complexion and speaks Yoruba and English languages well,” ALabi told The Nation.
