Sensing danger as the bus did not pick any other passenger at subsequent bus stops, Oluwabamise was said to have engaged a friend using voice notes on her phone.

The voice notes showed that the bus driver said he liked Oluwabamise and asked for her name and other details.

She told her friend to pray for her as she became suspicious of the bus driver and in response, the friend told her to alight at Oworonsoki bus stop, way before Oshodi bus stop.

The alleged victim equally sent a video to her friend showing how dark it was in the bus.

She then said in the voice note, “There are three men and one woman in the bus. The woman is sitting at the back. 

“240257 That’s the number of the bus in case. Please pray for me.”

Oluwabamise has remained missing since then.
