The family of the late Bamise Ayanwola, who was brutally murdered inside a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) vehicle operated by the Lagos State Bus Services Limited (LBSL), has called for an expeditious trial of the culprits.
The family members also debunked rumours that they had been ‘settled’, stressing that justice on the matter remained un-served. Speaking on behalf of the family, the deceased’s sister, Elizabeth Ayanwola, lamented delay in release of the autopsy result after specimen had been collected for analysis overseas, more than 24 months ago.
She called on well meaning Nigerians to intervene, saying the silence was causing more pain to the family. She said: “We can’t afford to lose again our loved ones who are thinking, sobbing and crying over this matter daily. Our prayer is that the court and government would expedite action. Our patience is exhausted. We need speed on the whole matter. Let the government fish out those accomplices who were in the vehicle with Bamise on that fateful day.
“Otherwise, we won’t believe that those people were not agents of some supposed government officials who have been using that vehicle for heinous crimes. We want this case to remain as hot as it was when it started.
