 I have no connection with Bamise’s killers; we were attacked by gunmen -BRT Driver

By Dayo Badmus, 

Nice Andrew, the driver of the BRT bus boarded by Oluwabamise Ayanwole, the late 22-year-old fashion designer, has said the bus was attacked by gunmen who later killed the deceased.

Bamise had boarded a BRT vehicle from Chevron bus-stop, Ajah, to Oshodi around 7pm on February 26 before she was found dead with dismembered body days later.

The police, on Monday, said the corpse of the deceased was found on Carter bridge at Ogogoro community Lagos Island.

According to the Police, Nice was arrested by officials of the Department of State Services (DSS) in Ogun state.

Speaking with TVC when he was paraded by the police, Nice claimed that three men bearing arms boarded the BRT bus alongside Bamise during the trip.

The driver said the three gunmen threatened him with the gun and ordered him to stop at Carter bridge, after which they dragged Bamise out of the bus.

“I picked her from Chevron and I picked the other three guys at Agungi. When those guys showed me the weapons as I was going, I was not myself anymore. Fear came over me,” he said.

“Whatever the gunmen told me, that is what I did. When I followed that Carter bridge, after the overhead bridge, they ordered me to stop there.

“When they ordered me to stop, they said I should open the door. When I opened the door, they now started dragging her down.

“When I saw she was crying for help, actually I was helpless. I was thinking she was inside the vehicle holding the iron and I moved on.

“I left her at that scene. I never knew they dragged her down already. I have no connection with anyone of them.”
