Kafayat and her husband had a seven-year-old son.
Kafayat stated that she was more devastated because her husband was killed by a policeman who is paid to protect members of the public.
While Kazeem was struggling to make end meets in Lagos, his wife and son live in Osogbo, Osun State.
The incident led to a riot that was later quelled by policemen.
Kafayat said, “My husband has not seen his son in the last three years, not because he did not want to, but because it has been hard for me to bring him to Lagos.
“I was planning to bring my son to see his father soon. Kazeem sent money for his upkeep, asking each time when he would be able to see his son.” The son would only have an opportunity to see his father’s corpse on Friday, when his remains will be buried at his hometown in Iragbiji, Osun State.
She had said after the incident in November that Adegboyega was in custody of the State Criminal Investigation Department. But since then, nothing has been heard.
