The House of Representatives has urged the Nigeria Police Force and other security agencies to fast track investigations into the murder of Oluwabamise Ayanwola.

The House said that the security agencies should ensure that the alleged killers of the 22-year-old lady were brought to justice.

The House also observed a minute silence in honour of the victim.

The resolution followed the adoption of an urgent motion of public importance by Ndudi Elumelu, the minority leader of the House, at the plenary session on Wednesday in Abuja.

The motion was titled: “Rampant cases of violence, incessant rape and ritual killing of our women folks: A call for urgent intervention.”

Ms Ayanwola was allegedly abducted by a BRT driver, Nice Andrew Omininikoron,and others, after she boarded a BRT on February 26.

“There are allegations that the BRT driver earlier confessed of having carnal knowledge of late miss Oluwabamise before killing her and harvesting some vital organs,” Mr Elumelu said while narrating the circumstances around Ms Ayanwola’s death.

“Only for the story to change after some influential Nigerians intervened on his behalf.”

Mr Elumelu noted that many of such cases were under-reported because of the stigma attached to such incidents and the molestation attached to it by the security agents when such reports were made.

He said this could be achieved by adopting a multi-facet approach that required an increase in advocacy and partnership between government, the private sectors and grassroots.
