No spirit of revenge
Despite this context of tension and while awaiting the conclusions of the investigation, the family is following the case without any spirit of revenge, assures master Calvin Job: "
Me, I do not have in front of me people who cry revenge and who say the public clamor indicates such a person, such a person must be arrested.
I have people who love justice, who just want the perpetrators of this heinous crime to be identified, arrested and tried.
That's what the family wants, nothing else.

" Friends first "
And while evoking the respect of the secrecy of the instruction, master Calvin Job nevertheless allowed himself a small comment on the information hitherto made available to the public: "We
know that finally Mr. Jean-Pierre Amougou Belinga and Mr. Justin Danwe, as Georges Brassens said, it was "friends first".
So after they are friends as pigs, that, the investigation will define it
”.
We "
trust
" in the justice of our country and hope for "
justice
" for Martinez Zogo, he concluded.
