The Lagos State Police Command has been urged to release the photograph and other details of an unnamed driver of a Bus Rapid Transit who drove slain 22-year-old Oluwabamise Ayanwole.
This was as the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Adekunle Ajisebutu, disclosed that the driver has been arrested by men of the Command and the dead body of the victim found.
According to the PPRO, the suspected ritualists dumped the remains of the lady on the Carter Bridge by Ogogoro Community.
The PUNCH had reported that Ayanwola got missing while returning to Ota from Ajah on February 26 when she boarded a BRT bus with number 240257 going to Oshodi at about 7pm at Chevron Bus-Stop.
The victim, who worked as a fashion designer in Ajah spent her weekends in Ota, Ogun State, with her sister, had sent some voice notes to a friend when she sensed danger on the bus.
The police on Monday said, “The corpse of (Ayanwole) has been deposited at the morgue of the Mainland Hospital, Yaba, for autopsy.”
The police also added that the driver has been apprehended, noting that he would face justice.
But outraged by the act, many social media users urged the police to name and shame the driver.
“His (driver) picture should be displayed on all social,” a Facebook user, Tokunbo Olaosebikan, submitted.
Also, Helen Etuk wrote, “Show us his picture! Someone might identify him with similar crime.”
“Arrest is not the matter, what we want is justice. Let justice take place. Before we know now the case will be shut down and the driver will be seen walking freely around,” Omokunmi Ayokunmi expressed his doubt.
