Adegboye said Thursday that the family was devastated by the untimely death of the 23-year-old, wondering how a car reverse could kill an adult.

“We, in the family, are not convinced that Tolu can just die like that in a freak accident. I know that the military is well-trained in the art of investigation; we want them to carry out a thorough investigation that can convince us beyond all doubts that the incident that led to her death was real,” she demanded.

However, the Kogi State House of Assembly has called on the state government to immortalise the late combat pilot. The call was contained in a motion moved by the member representing Ijumu Constituency, Kilani Olumo, at plenary yesterday.

The President of the Yoruba World Congress (YWC), Prof. Banji Akintoye, has expressed sadness over the death, calling for an adequate investigation.

The Yoruba leader, in a statement in Lagos Thursday, described the death as an irreparable loss and the grief unbearable.

Akintoye said: “The YWC calls for thorough and transparent investigation of the accident. This is so that we, who are Tolulope’s people, may have some peace in knowing what really happened, and also that useful lessons can be learnt that can help prevent a recurrence.”
