According to her,  Bolanle engages in the sales and purchase of properties, stressing that she bought the Venda Car, in which she was shot a month ago.

" How on earth can a man in his senses opened fire on his fellow human beings? Is it not wickedness? What did my daughter ( Bolanle committed) Nothing. He flagged her down and the husband, who was driving the car stopped, without arguing with Him. The next thing was that he fired and killed the victim." 

Francis said that the family northwitstsnding that the Inspector General of Police ( IGP) has waded into the issue, would pursue the matter to a logical conclusion.

". We would not stop at seeing that Vandi( the police officer) was dismissed, but ensured that he is goes to jail. Vandi would due in prison, he prayed". Francis added.
