Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the governor of Lagos State, has reacted to the murder of Oluwabamise Toyosi Ayanwole, who was found dead after boarding a BRT bus on her way home from work.
The Lagos State Governor condoled with the family of the deceased and promised that the state will leave no stone unturned in investigating Bamise’s unfortunate death.
“I hereby give you my word that justice will be served,” he added.
Bamise, 22, boarded the state-owned bus, BRT, on February 26 while on her way home from work.
His statement read
“Dear Lagosians, the life of every citizen of the state matters to us, and we do not take the security of our people for granted. 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.
“The driver of the BRT bus involved in this unfortunate incident has been arrested, and the management of Lagos Bus Service Ltd has been directed to cooperate fully with security agencies in their investigations so that the full weight of the law is brought down on everyone involved in this ugly incident.
“To Oluwabamise’s family and loved ones, my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time, may the Almighty God console you. I hereby give you my word that JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED.
“To fellow Lagosians, I assure you that I am following all the investigations closely, and will ensure that Oluwabamise gets the justice she deserves. I also assure you all that the BRT services remain safe, despite this condemnable act. Once again, my sincere condolences to the Ayanwola family. May Oluwabamise’s soul Rest In Peace. Amen.”
