" 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.
