The program

On February 26, 2022, 22-year-old fashion designer Bamise Ayanwola boarded a BRT in Lagos.

She was supposed to be visiting her brother's home.

But something about the bus immediately felt wrong. Bamise noticed that she was alone, the bus was unusually dark, and the driver wasn't picking up other passengers. Then she started sending voice notes and videos to a friend.

In this episode, we follow Bamise's final journey, the messages she sent from inside the BRT, her disappearance, the discovery of her body, and the investigation that eventually led to the conviction of the driver she was last seen with.
