JUST IN: Passengers Stranded As BRT Suspends Operations Over Death Of Bamise

TRIXX NG reports the various Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) terminals across Lagos State were without vehicles on Tuesday morning.

Passengers were left stranded at the various terminals across the state with no bus in sight.

It gathered that there are speculations the BRT has suspended operations for fear of attack following the death of 22-year-old Bamise Ayanwole, who was allegedly abducted and killed after boarding a BRT vehicle on Friday.

Recall that 22-year-old Ayanwole was abducted and gruesomely murdered after boarding a BRT last Friday.

Meanwhile, fresh information on Tuesday morning showed that the police in Lagos were in possession of late Ayanwole’s body since Sunday and took her to a morgue, but refused to provide information until the family became aware on Monday.

It is also being alleged that the same bus the deceased was last seen in, worked for days after the incident.

The driver of the bus, Andrew Nice, is presently in police custody.

An official of Primero, who preferred anonymity, confirmed to The PUNCH that the operations of the BRT had been temporarily suspended across the state owing to the unfortunate incident that led to the killing of Bamise.
