A picture of the deceased and the arrested driver, Nice

Andrew Nice, the driver of the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) vehicle on which Oluwabamise Ayanwola, the young woman who was found after she was declared missing, has stated he had no links to her killers.

Bamise went missing after she boarded a BRT vehicle from Chevron bus-stop, Ajah, to Oshodi around 7pm on February 26.

Nice told journalists after his arrest that the gunmen who abducted and killed the deceased boarded the bus like she did too.

“I picked her from Chevron and I picked the other three guys at Agungi. When those guys showed me the weapons as I was going, I was not myself anymore. Fear came over me,” he said.

“Whatever the gunmen told me, that is what I did. When I followed that Carter bridge, after the overhead bridge, they ordered me to stop there.

“When they ordered me to stop, they said I should open the door. When I opened the door, they now started dragging her down (referring to Bamise).

“When I saw she was crying for help, actually I was helpless. I was thinking she was inside the vehicle holding the iron and I moved on.

“I left her at that scene. I never knew they dragged her down already. I have no connection with anyone of them.”

Meanwhile, Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has vowed justice for the deceased fashion designer.

“We will therefore leave no stone unturned in the investigations and arrest of everyone found culpable in the kidnap and death of Miss Oluwabamise Ayanwola.

“I assure you that I am following all the investigations closely, and will ensure that Oluwabamise gets the justice she deserves,” said Sanwo-Olu.
