Recounting the answer he got when he asked about the older white man, Lauren’s brother, Lakeem Jetter said he was told he's a nice man and needs not to be investigated. 

 

Lakeem said; 

 

 “Without a doubt, we know that my daughter was not a drug user, and I had a second autopsy myself paid out of pocket because we felt so uncomfortable with the way it was handled.”

 

He also claimed that the only contact they’ve had with the police was with a “very insensitive, condescending and arrogant detective.”

 

The City of Bridgeport has now released a statement, saying that the concern shown on the case seriously. It was also stated that the Command Staff of the Detective Bureau is reviewing the handling of this case to ensure that best practices were and are being followed.

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles
