The Lagos High Court sitting at Tafawa Balewa Square has convicted and sentenced Andrew Ominikoron, a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) driver, to death for the murder of 22-year-old fashion designer, Bamise Ayanwola.
Delivering a judgment that lasted over two and a half hours, Justice Serifat Sonaike ruled that the prosecution—led by the Lagos State Government—had proven its case beyond reasonable doubt.
“For the death of Oluwabamise Ayanwola, you shall be hanged by the neck until you are dead. May God have mercy on your soul,” the judge declared.
