Court sentences BRT driver to death by hanging for killing Bamise

Justice Sherifat Sonaike on Friday sentenced Andrew Nice Ominikoron to death by hanging after the Lagos State High Court, Tafawa Balewa Square annex, found the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) driver guilty of the murder of 22-year-old Ayanwola Oluwabamise and the sexual assault of Dr. Anosike Victoria.

Ominikoron faced a five-count charge including murder, conspiracy, and rape — in connection with Bamise’s death, the sexual assault of Dr. Anosike, and the rape of one Maryland Ojiezelu.

He had, however, pleaded not guilty to all charges.
