There is heavy presence of security operatives at the Gani Fawehinmi Park in Ojota, Lagos where some youths proposed to protest for slain Bamise Ayanwole.

The Lagos State Police Command on Monday, confirmed the death of Bamise, who went missing after boarding a Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) service on February 26.

Following the outrage that trailed Bamise’s alleged gruesome murder, some youths vowed to embark on a protest on Tuesday.

In a flier shared on Twitter as seen by The Nation, the youths vowed to storm the Secretariat in Alausa, Ikeja and all BRT terminals in Lagos State.

They also demanded justice for the 22-year-old lady and prosecution of all the suspects involved in the death of the fashion designer.

The Nation observed that men of the Nigeria Police Force, Nigerian Army, and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps are stationed at the park strategically.

Also operatives of the Department of State Services are among the joint security forces at the venue with scores of patrol vans, heavy anti-riot gun trucks and Black Marias.

No protester has been seen at the venue as of 9:00am when our correspondent filed this report while vehicular movement and business activities continued uninterrupted along the axis.

what da hell

North and South west are the two region that cause so much unrest in this country. Ranging from bombing, raping, kidnapping, skull miners, grave vandalism, endless rituals. what is all these na.

Let's have peace for once in this country.

Damnnn
This is so serious....
The killer don hear am....

Everyday is for the thief,buh one day Is for the owner..

They should just please release the driver to the protesters for justice to be served.

It's now a custom in Nigeria

Na watin dem know how to do best

Left to Social Media Court, that driver would have been Convicted & Executed by now.
But we need to allow proper investigations to be carried out by the police to establish facts & not sentiments.

But it's possible the driver was held at gunpoint by the rapists/ritualist/robbers. If he was part of the hoodlums, they most likely would not have allowed the lady to make calls & send info about the BRT.

But he is definitely culpable for not calling the police after the incident (though knowing our police, many of us would have done same under similar circumstances).

If I'm alone in a BRT with a driver & he starts behaving funny or passes my bus stop, I'd be angry & agitated & start shouting, hitting/breaking the window etc. I will not just go to a corner & be discreetly making a video.
Infact if you threaten the driver you are videoing & informing your family, he will stop any intended foul play.

The video appears to be made under a life-threatening situation. My guess is: the hoodlums entered the BRT, & quietly showed the driver the gun & ordered him to corporate... While this was going on, the girl sensed danger & started making the discreet video.
It's possible the hoodlums realised they were being videoed &...

In any case, if the driver is involved it's very easy for Police to establish that by investigating his
-call records
-bank transactions
-friends & associates
-his lifestyle (if within his income)
& a few interrogations.
Thankfully Mr Governor has assured of his commitment to ensuring the criminals are apprehended.

I don't curse. But whoever will campaign for this party again is an enemy of humanity.

The last administration never offered half of the inconveniences, insecurity, and injustices that people have seen in this administration, yet they are blocking people from protesting! Preventing people from exercising their rights! How is this humane? Can someone make this make sense?


This same guys protested and instigated protests here and there in the last administration. These same guys!

justmi1:
If the government is sensitive enough, they should deploy men without arms, and allow the protest while thorough investigation is ongoing, because we can't rule out the possibility of hijacking the protest and making it political.
It's quite unfortunate, that even government managed transportation is not safe...

God bless you. Oil dey your head!

Na wa o

Na for peaceful protest una dey get power. How many Police and soldiers have been deployed to fetch out the criminals that killed Bamise Misplaced priority at it's peak

#JusticeforBamise

In as much as I want justice for the lady n i want d perpetrators punished,I don't support any useless protest.

No time now some mischievous people will hijack it like endsars n b4 u know what is happening they will start burning everything,looting n doing other useless things

That girl's death is a painful one. May she find rest in the bosom of the Lord. So sad.

Protest is officially a crime in naija

Buhari dogs

Ok

Andrew nice couldn't afford to wait for his time while managing his driving work rather, he wanna chill with the big boys. Reason he went into organ harvesting and the Bleep thing is that they always think they can outsmart their crimes with cock and bull stories

Afonjaaa don't disappoint

By the time Buhari is done with Nigeria, una eyes go clear!

No more fundamental Human Rights anymore in Nigeria under the lifeless one

God is in control

People can not protest peacefully again, what is democracy all about?

Justice is needed

What happened

Na Mr. Nice dem wan touch

My heart goes out to the mother and the entire family of the slain damsel, however the protest is totally uncalled for at this stage, given the fallout of the previous protest. The truth is no government will allow such a protest to be held because of the uncertain end of such. I'll passionately advice the organizers of the said protest, to sheath their swords for now and monitor the case. Thankfully, the driver has been apprehended, they should get involved via every legal means available to prosecute the case against the driver and get justice for the family, that's the best solidarity they can give to the family.

Protest is officially a crime in naija

the question u should ask yourself is this,those who want to protest,can they differentiate between they protesting n hoodlums hijacking it for mischievous reasons?

Reasonable citizens will b protesting n some online influencers will collect money from politicians n change d narrative just like endsars.

Endsars was a very just course but many emotional people couldn't see it when it became politicised n it changed to endbuhari n i bet u no government in the world will fold it's hands n let arsonists take over.

Any small thing them don carry security operatives full for ground...ordinary to bring perpetrators to book,that one no possible.

Why are they afraid of the protest ? They should do the right thing immediately by sending the killer to jail if possible sentence to death.
