A Superintendent of Police, Goddy Ihende, on Monday, told a Lagos State High
Court sitting at the Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos Island, that the police
conducted a forensic examination on the Bus Rapid Transit vehicle driven by a
murder suspect, Andrew Ominikoron.
Ominikoron is standing trial
for the murder of a 22-year-old fashion designer, Oluwabamise Ayanwole, whom
he carried on his bus on February 26, 2022.

Ihende told Justice Sherifat Sonaike that it would take time to get the
result of the forensic analysis.
He disclosed this while being
cross-examined by the defence counsel, Mr Abayomi Omotubora.
The
officer, who is the seventh prosecution witness, said the defendant picked up
the victim from Chevron Bus Stop instead of the designated BRT park.

He said, “In my earlier answer, I said the defendant was not supposed to
pick up a passenger that is not at the BRT Bus Stop but he went ahead and did
that because he didn’t want to remit the money to the Lagos State Government’s
account.”
Asked if during the course of investigation he found out
whether the victim paid any fare for boarding the vehicle, the witness said
the person who would have answered that was late (Bamise).
The
prosecution said the defendant had s£xual intercourse with Ayanwole without
her consent and murdered her around 7pm between Lekki Ajah Expressway and
Carter Bridge on February 26, 2022.
