āThe rider said he was supposed to drop her at Isheri which is the last bus stop for tricycle riders along the area and when they got there, the rider expected her to step out and pay her fare only to find out that she wasnāt responding. That was when he raised the alarm. The place was crowded as it appeared strange.ā
