The 72-year-old mother of Oluwabamise Ayanwola, the lady who disappeared after boarding a Bus Rapid Transit bus in Ajah area of Lagos State, Comfort Ayanwola, has located the vehicle where it was parked in one of the premises of the company managing the fleet, Lagos Bus Service Limited.
The development was shared via a Facebook video in which the grieving mother ran frantically towards the bus.
In the video, the elderly Bamise was seen trying to open the driver’s side of the bus, with a voice in the background urging her not to.
She has appealed to the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, to intervene in the disappearance of her 21-year-old daughter, who closed from work around 7pm on February 26 and was on her way to visit her brother, Pelumi, when she boarded the bus around Chevron Bus Stop, Lekki.
She was said to be heading to Oshodi.
The grieving mum said: “Bamise is my last born.
“She was on her way to her brother’s place last Saturday and when her brother did not see her, he tried her phone number and it has not been connecting since then.
“I heard about it on Sunday evening so I started calling her elder siblings to help me look for her.
“It was when they contacted one of her colleagues that we were informed that she went missing in a BRT bus she boarded.
“She also provided evidence, including WhatsApp voice notes and a video my daughter recorded on the bus.
“The last time she heard from her was when she boarded the BRT bus.
“She even informed her friend that the driver switched off the light of the bus.
“If my daughter got down from the bus, she would have called us or at least called her friend to inform her that she had got down.
“We never heard from my daughter.
“I heard that the driver has absconded.
“The BRT company in charge of the bus should have details of the driver.
“I want Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to help me.
“My children are my benefactors.
“I want him to help me locate my daughter.”
