A Lagos High Court sitting at Tafawa Balewa Square has sentenced Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) driver Andrew Nice Ominikoron to death by hanging for the murder of 22-year-old Ayanwola Oluwabamise.

Justice Sherifat Sonaike delivered the verdict on Friday after finding Ominikoron guilty of murdering Bamise and sexually assaulting another victim, Dr Anosike Victoria. The driver faced a five-count charge including murder, conspiracy, and rape—linked to Bamise’s killing and additional assaults on other women.

Ominikoron had pleaded not guilty to all charges but was convicted based on the evidence presented during the trial.
