Justice Sherifat Sonaike of the Lagos State High Court, sitting at the Tafawa Balewa Square Annexe, has sentenced Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) driver, Andrew Ominikoron, to death by hanging for the gruesome murder of 22-year-old Oluwabamise Ayanwola.
Ominikoron faced a five-count charge, including murder, rape, and conspiracy, tied to the death of Ayanwola as well as the sexual assault of Dr. Anosike Victoria and the rape of Maryland Ojiezelu.
Delivering judgment on Friday, Justice Sonaike declared that the Lagos State Government, which led the prosecution, had proven its case beyond a reasonable doubt.
