Justice Serifat Sonaike of the Lagos State High Court, sitting at Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS) on Friday, convicted and sentenced Andrew Nice Ominikoron, a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) driver, to death by hanging for the murder of one of his passengers, Oluwabamise Ayanwole.

In March 2022, Ominikoron, 47, was charged by the Lagos State Government with four charges of suspected rape, conspiracy sexual assault, and murder.

According to the charge, the murder occurred on February 26, 2022, about 7 p.m., along the Lekki-Ajah Conservation Motorway in Lagos.

The prosecution said that Ominikoron collaborated with others who are still at large and forced sexual intercourse with Bamise before murdering her. The defendant pleaded not guilty to the charges.
