However, she noted that her own family could not fully join in the celebrations because her uncle was killed during the ordeal and would never return home.

According to her, although many families now have the opportunity to embrace their loved ones again, her family is left with a painful void that can never be filled.

She described the loss as one that would forever leave an empty seat at their family table, adding that their joy remained incomplete despite the successful rescue of the other victims.

Reflecting on the rescue, Oluwabukolami said the day represented both celebration and grief, depending on the family involved.

While congratulating those whose relatives regained their freedom, she paid tribute to her late uncle, saying his memory would continue to live on in their hearts.

She concluded by praying for his peaceful rest and vowed that he would never be forgotten.
