Passengers hoping to ride on the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) were left stranded on Tuesday morning at the various terminals across the state with no bus in sight.
Speculations were rife that the BRT has suspended operations for fear of attack following the death of 22-year-old Bamise Ayanwole, who was allegedly abducted and killed after boarding a BRT vehicle on Friday.
At the Ikorodu BRT terminal, there were no buses to convey stranded passengers to their various destinations.
An official of Primero, who preferred anonymity, said that the operations of the BRT had been temporarily suspended across the state owing to the unfortunate incident that led to the killing of Bamise.
But he assured the commuters that the issue was being handled by the state government and services would be restored as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, there is heavy presence of security operatives at the Gani Fawehinmi Park in Ojota, Lagos where some youths proposed to protest for slain Bamise Ayanwole.
The Lagos State Police Command on Monday, confirmed the death of Bamise, who went missing after boarding a Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) service on February 26.
Following the outrage that trailed Bamise’s alleged gruesome murder, some youths vowed to embark on a protest on Tuesday.
