Joseph, the father of the 22-year-old, Oluwabamise Ayanwole who was abducted in a Bus Rapid Transit and later found dead, has expressed sadness over the death of his daughter.
The 84-year-old while speaking on the demise of his daughter said he has not been himself since the incident happened.
Joseph who happens to be a pastor stated this at his residence in the Olorunishola area of Ipaja-Ayobo, Lagos State.
The cleric disclosed that Oluwabamise was the last of his 10 children.
He further stated that he doesn’t believe in protest as it would not bring back his daughter.
The father said that the deceased was the last of his 10 children.
Joseph noted that Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu-led government has promised to visit his family which he is still waiting for.
He said, “It is hard to believe that my daughter is no more.”
While speaking on the condolence visit of the Lagos State Governor, he said, “As a man of God, I pray for him and other leaders from my altar every day so I want him to help me get justice.”
Joseph when asked whether his daughter’s body was mutilated, said, “The government says it will perform an autopsy on the body of the deceased; we are still waiting for the result.”
The mother of the deceased, Comfort while speaking on the incident said that the verbal-note evidence her daughter sent to her friend before she was killed should be enough evidence for the government to prosecute the driver.
She said, “The evidence which had gone viral should be enough evidence for the prosecution of the suspect.
“The driver is now lying that kidnappers pointed a gun at him and dragged our daughter out of the BRT bus he was driving and was in transit then.
“Kidnappers pointed a gun at him, dragged his passenger out from the bus in transit and he did not go to the police station to report the matter, it is a lie.”
