The suspect, who absolve himself in the video, stated that he had no hand in the fashion designer’s( Oluwabamise Ayanwola) death and was only acting on the orders of her kidnappers, who held him and the lady hostage on the bus.

“When those guys showed me their weapons, I couldn’t be myself anymore,” he said of what happened on the bus. Fear gripped me, and I only obeyed the man with the gun who sat next to me.

“I followed the Carter Bridge, and when I got to the overhead bridge, they told me to stop.” And when they told me to stop, I was told to open the door, and her assailants came down and began dragging her off the bus.

“I was helpless when I saw her crying for help, and I thought she was still in the bus holding on to one of the irons that could help keep her in the bus.” I moved on during that process and with that thought. And that is precisely the case.”
