Omininikoron was arrested in connection with the murder of Ayankole
The driver was taken to court on Friday
A Yaba Magistrates’ Court in Lagos State made the order following an application by the police on Friday.
Meanwhile, tongues are wagging after a revelation that Nice (Andrew) Omininikoron, the driver of the Bus Rapid Transit vehicle arrested in connection with the brutal murder of a passenger, Oluwabamise Ayankole, allegedly raped another lady.
Some members of the public expressed their displeasure and called for an urgent prosecution of the driver.
They also urged other female passengers to speak up on their encounters with BRT drivers in Lagos State.
The victim accused the 47-year-old of raping her on the BRT bus on November 25, 2021, sharing a similar narrative with what transpired between the driver and Bamise.
The former salesgirl at a shop in Ajah said after she closed from work around 8 pm, she boarded the BRT bus driven by the suspect.
The driver was to convey her from the Alesh Bus Stop in Ajah, to Jakande, along the Lekki Epe Expressway, when things took another dimension.
The victim said she could not call for help because Omininikoron parked the bus at a desolate location, adding that he refused to let her go after allegedly raping her.
She also claimed that Nice threatened to stab her.
A statement of account provided by the victim confirmed Omininikoron sent N3,000 to her on November 25, 2021.
A video clip of her torn clothes was also seen by our correspondent.
Reacting to the fresh allegations, the Lagos State Police Command tweeted, “Anyone who has a complaint against the suspect is advised to report at the State Criminal Investigation Depart\ment (SCID) Panti for necessary Action, please.”
