The Police in Lagos have confirmed the recovery of the dead body of Oluwabamise Ayanwole, the 22-year-old lady who got missing in transit while on board a BRT vehicle last month.
The corpse was found lying on the Carter Bridge by Ogogoro Community, Lagos Island.
The corpse has been deposited at the morgue of the Mainland Hospital, Yaba, for autopsy.
The bereaved family has been contacted and family members have identified the corpse as that of Oluwabamise Ayanwole, the lady earlier declared missing.
The Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Alabi, is saddened by this incident and, therefore, expresses, on behalf of the management, officers and men of the command, his heartfelt condolence to the bereaved family.
Notwithstanding the death of Oluwabamise, the detectives handling the case would not rest on their oars until her killers are found.
