Andrew Nice Ominikoron, a driver for the Lagos Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), was found guilty of conspiring, raping, and killing Bamise Ayanwola, a 22-year-old fashion designer.
He was sentenced to death by hanging by the Lagos State High Court, which is located in Tafawa Balewa Square.
The trial judge, Sherifat Sonaike, delivered the decision on Friday.
In February 2022, Bamise entered a BRT bus but never got to her destination.
Security operatives later found her naked body by the roadside.
