The late Bamise Ayanwola’s N500,000 funeral expense has been covered by the Lagos Bus Services Limited. Nice Omininikoron, a Bus Rapid Transit driver, is accused of killing Ayanwola.
Pelumi, the deceased’s older brother, claimed that the head of the morgue at the Lagos Mainland Hospital had phoned Oluwatobi to let him know that no one had checked on the body or paid anything after the autopsy was completed.
He asserted that the family’s bill, which was mounting, was already above N500,000, and he expressed concern about how they would pay it.
On Wednesday, Gbenga Omotoso, the state’s commissioner for information and strategy, declared that the bill had been resolved. “The Lagos Bus Services Limited has paid the money,” he declared.
Nobody told them; the person who took the body there was called that the bill was ready, and instead of the person to report to the LBSL, he went to report to a newspaper.”
Meanwhile, the Lagos State Governorship Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Dr Abdul-Azeez Adediran, aka Jandor, has also given over N500, 000 to the family for the mortuary bill.
The News Agency of Nigeria reported on Thursday that Adediran, after a meeting of his representative and the deceased’s family members at the Liberty House, Ikeja, said he was touched by the family’s pain.
The family was said to have commended Adediran, saying he had been in contact with Bamise’s parents since the incident happened.
