The BRT driver, Andrew Nice, arrested in connection with the death of 22-year-old Bamise Ayanwola is set to be arraigned in court today, Friday. 

According to rights activist and lawyer to the deceased’s family, Barrister Ayo Ademiluyi, Andrew Nice will be arraigned before a Yaba Magistrate Court at 12pm today.

Ademiluyi said, “The arraignment of Andrew Nice, the BRT driver that was arrested in connection with the murder of late Bamise Ayanwola, comes up today at Yaba Magistrate Court, and we urge interested persons to make it to the court by 12 noon as the arraignment starts as from 12 noon.”

The lawyer, who is a Lead Partner at Newworth LLP, also told sources that Bamise’s family is requesting for an autopsy on the Bamise’s corpse to ascertain whether her body was mutilated or not.

He said, “We want an autopsy to be conducted on Bamise in order for the facts to be ascertained whether her private parts or any of her organs was cut off”.

Recall that GWG had earlier reported that another lady, in an interview, alleged that Mr Nice raped her on the BRT on November 25, 2021.

The victim said, “While on our way, he switched off the light of the bus, but the AC was on. But as we approached the first toll gate coming from Ajah, he suddenly parked the bus. He then told me to come and sit at the front and started asking me different questions.

“I saw him using a drug and my thinking was that he parked the bus to use the drug before time ran out. A few minutes later, he started making advances towards me and I saw that his manhood had risen up. I became very uncomfortable and insisted on getting down, but he didn’t open the door.

“He said he wanted both of us to go and chill and that he wanted to have sex with me, but I declined. Suddenly, he brought out a knife and dragged me to the back seat of the bus. He told me to take off my clothes, but I refused. He threatened to kill me. He tore my gown, forcefully removed the biker short I wore and raped me. I felt sad.”

The victim said she could not call for help because Omininikoron parked the bus at a desolate location, adding that he refused to let her go after allegedly raping her.

She added, “He insisted on driving me to my destination at Jakande Bus Stop. When we got to my bus stop, he still didn’t open the door. He demanded my account number and started pleading over what he did. He said he wanted to send money to me to buy painkillers.

“I could not speak out because I was ashamed of what happened and believed I could not get justice. But when his pictures started circulating online regarding the death of the lady (Oluwabamise), I told my friend that I knew him (Omininikoron).

“After seeing his coloured picture, I went to my bank, requested my statement of account, traced the day he sent me the money, and it was the same name, Omininikoron Nice, which was in the picture circulating. I told my friend about it and she introduced me to a rights activist.

“Some people may question me for speaking out now, but I am speaking out because of the girl. That man must not be freed because he is responsible for what happened.”

A statement of account provided by the victim confirmed Omininikoron sent N3,000 to her on November 25, 2021.
