However reacting to the use of the terms “allegedly” and “stray bullet” in the media in reference to the killing of his fiancée,  Bakor on Monday angrily said:
 
“Don’t use the word ‘”alleged”,
 
She was killed right inside the shop,
 
Don’t use the word “stray bullet”,
 
It was a deliberate act, a gunshot directly at the shop is not a stray bullet.”
 
In a heartrending Facebook post on his timeline in remembrance of his fiancee’s last birthday celebration, Bakor wrote:  “This is when we all came together to celebrate your birthday, I never knew an unprecedented session like this would come where I’ll be wearing one boxer and shirt for a month plus now for something I didn’t bargain for, I haven’t slept a night without taking a sleeping pills.

“I never knew that an untrained, unprofessional cop would cut short your life for absolutely nothing,

“I hereby call on his Excellency Governor Nyesom Wike, the governor of Rivers State and all meaning Nigerians that value life to lend their voice to this this evil done to my fiancée, it might be anyone tomorrow.

“What’s her offence to deserve this kind of treatment? Why would she die for nothing?”
