Stating the purpose of the visit, ACG Swomen said, "In line with the CGC's directive, it is an ongoing interaction and support for the families, so even after today, we will continue to keep in touch with them and see the best ways going forward that we can support them in this difficult time.


"It just tells you that the service is responsive, we are caring, we are a responsible Nigerian Government Agency, and even though those events happened outside our premises, we are still touched by it and we will continue to see the best way going forward to support these families."


Responding, the husband of the late Comfort Ajayi, Murphy Ajayi, appreciated the delegation for their visit, saying, "They have been trying in their effort to get in touch with us and check on us. I say a big thank you, though it has not been easy, but life continues."


In the same vein, the team also reached out to the families of late Eugene Anyanwu and late Mercy Christopher, who were also victims of the unfortunate incident on Thursday, May 2, 2024. 


Sarah Anyanwu, wife to late Eugene Anyanwu
