“We are at the morgue. We have confirmed the corpse."
Ayanwola was declared missing by her family after she sent a voice note and some text to a friend when she sensed she might be in danger.

Noting that the BRT bus was headed to Oshodi, the deceased lady in her message at about 7 pm. at Chevron Bus-Stop feared that she might have become a victim of a mishap as the driver of the bus failed to pick any other passenger after her.
She told her friend to pray for her, in the voice notes where she confirmed that the driver had confessed to her (Ayanwola) that he likes her and requested her name and other details.
It was also gathered that Ayanwola worked as a fashion designer at Chevron Estate, Ajah and spent weekends at Ota, Ogun State, with her sister.
Part of the voice notes and text sent to her friend read in part:
“There are three men and one woman on the bus. The woman is sitting at the back. That’s the number of the bus in case. Please pray for me.’’
Clips of videos made by the deceased also showed that the entire bus and area was dark
However, Lagos police command and the BRT officials in the state are said to be searching for the driver whose bus was allegedly kidnapped and later killed.
