Bamise: Lagos BRT buses should have CCTV – Toyin Abraham
Nollywood actress, Toyin Abraham has queried the Lagos State Government over the absence of CCTV cameras in BRT buses in Lagos State.
Nigerians have continued to demand justice for 22-year-old Bamise Ayanwola, whose corpse was found on Carter Bridge after she was declared missing.
Andrew Nice, the BRT driver of the bus that Bamise boarded before her disappearance, has narrated how some passengers abducted the 22-year-old in his bus.
Toyin, reacting to the sad incident on her Instagram page, queried the Lagos State Government for lack of CCTV cameras in BRT buses.
She asked what measures the government has put in place to ensure an incident like this does not repeat itself.
Her post reads: “It’s sad enough that Nigeria is not safe but to think that a place or thing considered as property like BRT is now considered a dangerous place should all get all of us concerned. But I have a few questions for the Lagos State Government, why are the BRT buses not fitted with CCTV cameras?
“What measure have you put in place since this incident that made you assure Lagosians that the BRT buses are now safe?
“Are we truly safe or your speech is just government rhetoric, telling us what we want to hear?
Lagosians, please be careful, we can’t move about like everything is okay. Things are not okay if we are not safe inside government buses.
“And to the family of Ayanwole Oluwabamise, I sympathize with you”.
The actress assured the Ayanwola family of support from some celebrities to go through this phase of grief.
“Some of us will reach out to see how you can go through this phase with some measure of ease-no easy way in grieve. May God truly console you .This is such a sad incident,” she said.
