Her statement in part:

"We were happy to snap pictures with you, Tosin, because you really suffered before you gained admission into the university, and now you graduated with so many plans. We were planning on making the future bright for your parents and your siblings, not knowing that the devil had its own plan."

"We were happy to celebrate you on your graduation, not knowing that it would be our last celebration and the last time we would hug and be with you, Tosin."

"You asked me to cook beans for you, that you would come back and eat the food after playing ball not knowing that I was cooking your last supper, and you did not even have the chance to eat before you left us, Tomisin. I know you will fight back."

After his death, she sent an emotional message to him as she helped her to cope with the pain of the loss.
