A third person who was also in their company has since been identified as one Faith.

Lamenting her loss , Ada ’ s grieving mother said : “ I spoke with her on Friday afternoon and she promised to come see me next week so we could celebrate Easter together.

“ She ’ s a daughter I don’ t want to miss in life. She had a loving heart , she was friendly and didn ’ t like trouble.

“ When they called me around 7 am that my daughter had been shot by the Police , I rushed down there and saw my child lying dead . A girl of just 20 years died like a chicken !

“ What did they find on her that made them fire her ? If they had shot the tyre , at least the car would stop.

“ Is that what the government want for us ? I want justice for my child !”
Our reporter had caught up with Mrs . John at Ajegunle area of Lagos , where Ada resided with her father .
