When asked, she says that she did not know and had never seen the girl, her parents or siblings, she only saw their pictures on the news and on posters all around Lagos.

She then returned home where she stayed until 06.50 the next morning with her family (husband, children and brothers) when she received a message from her colleague and went to work.
