Damilola Titilayo Ayanwola, elder sister of the murdered lady on Lagos BRT, Bamise Ayanwola, has revealed how she died in pain.
Countering the claim made by Lagos State Police Command, Damilola narrated that the private part of Bamise was cut while she was still alive.
She spoke at a press conference on Tuesday at Ikeja.
Damilola disclosed an elder sister to Bamise who is pregnant, Elizabeth, has been hospitalised.
The Nation reports Bamise, a fashion designer, was found dead on Monday โ nine days after she was declared missing after she boarded a bus rapid transit (BRT) vehicle.
The Lagos State Government on Tuesday suspended Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) operations as a precaution after intelligence on โplanned attacksโ by persons yet to be identified.
The Gani Fawehinmi Park, Ojota, Lagos, was heavily guarded by armed security men officers of the Nigeria Police Force, the Nigerian Army, Department of State Services (DSS) over proposed protest to demand justice for slain Bamise.
But sympathisers in their numbers, besieged Bamiseโs residence to condole with the family.
They carried placards with inscriptions โWe want Justice for Bamiseโ, โDo not sweep under the carpet, we want Justice.โ
They called on Lagos Governor Sanwo-Olu and the Commissioner of Police to ensure justice is served.
Some activists also stormed the Lagos State House of Assembly with the immediate elder sister of the deceased, Damilola to lament the gruesome murder of Bamise.
Narrating Bamiseโs last moments, Damilola said, โGovernor Sanwo-Olu, I am challenging you. My family is not wealthy, we are not influential but we have God. We work hard and struggle to survive. We are content with what we have. We are Christians to the core. Why has our last born been used for the things of the world? This is a money ritual case.
โThey made her (Bamise) to suffer life, they removed her private part. They did not kill her o, she suffered the pain and hell on earth before she moved to her destination.
โThey forced her to stop at the bus stop she was not supposed to stop.โ
Describing the late Bamise, she said: โBamise was patient, joyful person, she makes everyone happy in the familyโ.
โHe (driver) said all these that it was an attack, why didnโt he report to their terminal that there was an attack? He didnโt report to the police station or his superiors.
โHe now resumed back to work on Monday, please if this was an attack, why was he able to resume back to work on Monday?
โWe met a man at the park who said Bamise had gone to enjoy herself that she will call us, and that she does not want to call now, because she was enjoying herself, while in pains where they were cutting her private part.
โThey did not kill her before they cut her private part. My sister experienced hell-in-cell situation like that of wrestling before her last breath on earth.
โMy mum who is 74 years old, and my Dad 84 years old, in the morning time, they didnโt mourn over any one of us the children, at this phase of their life, they are enjoying the little token that we are rendering to them.
โThey used the death of Bamise to cause sorrow for the family. She had a dream to become a fashion designer and she was doing brilliantly well in the training but look at what theyโve caused. Please we want Justice.โ
The distraught mother, Comfort, who spoke with The Nation, said โAll I want is justice which must be the truth and not any thing that will cause those at the helm of affairs to tamper with the truth.
โIโm from Otun Ekiti, I call on the Ekiti state government to help us. Bamise is a prominent daughter of Ekiti. Please Lagos state and Ekiti state govts respectively should collaborate and come together, I donโt have anyone except God.
โIf not for God that had said that her (Bamiseโs) time is up on earth, the handset she had before her demise was a new one because the one she was using was faulty.โ
