The First Lady of Lagos State, Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu says there are plans to install Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras in all Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) buses in the state.
Her comment came against the backdrop of the death of 22-year-old Oluwabamise Ayanwole who died after boarding a BRT bus in the Chevron, Lekki area of the state.
The young woman went missing on February 26, 2022, after she boarded a BRT with number 240257 heading to Oshodi at about 7:30 pm to see her sister-in-law, who was said to be in labour.
The fashion designer was said to have become suspicious when the driver of the bus told her to sit at the back despite being the only one in the vehicle.
She was later declared missing by her relations. The bus was driven by Nice Andrew Omininikoron, who has now been arrested by the police.
On Monday, Bamise was found dead. This was confirmed by a relative of the victim.
Reacting during a protest on Tuesday, the Lagos First Lady said there were plans to install CCTV in BRT buses to ensure protection of the passengers and drivers.
Meanwhile, Ibijoke also according to a statement from the Lagos House obtained by SaharaReporters led a rally with other women to demand for greater women participation in the governance of the country.
“We hereby condemn in no uncertain terms this brazen discrimination against Nigerian women. As half of the population of the country, our voices and our lives matter. There can be no development without the full and equal participation of women in all spheres, and any country that continues to deliberately undermine the advancement of women, is simply stifling its own advancement,” she said.
The First Lady also urged Nigerian women to remain steadfast and resolute in demanding an end to acts of bias and discrimination, assuring that victory awaited the womenfolk.
