A Nigerian woman's emotional celebration has captured national attention after her family members were safely released following the devastating Eruku church attack in Kwara State. The viral TikTok video shows the woman, identified as @theadeliciouss101, rolling on the floor in gratitude after learning that her sister and three children were among those freed from captivity.
Emotional Relief After Tragic Kidnapping
The heartwarming scene comes just days after the deadly attack on Eruku church where bandits killed several worshippers and abducted approximately 38 people. Among those taken were the woman's sister and her three young children, whose kidnapping had left the family in emotional turmoil.
In her previous viral video, the distraught woman had appealed for help, explaining how the incident had paralyzed her daily life. "I can't travel, I can't work, I can't eat," she had lamented, reflecting the anguish felt by numerous families affected by the attack.
Governor's Intervention Brings Freedom
The breakthrough came when authorities informed the family that the victims had been brought to Ilorin, the Kwara State capital. In her emotional Yoruba-language video that has since gone viral, the woman expressed profound gratitude to Governor Abdulrazak and other officials involved in securing the release.
"Thank you sir, we're grateful sir. So we wouldn't pay ₦50m, we wouldn't pay ₦10m. Governor Abdulrazak, thank you," she declared while rolling on the floor in relief. Her mother, who had been crying continuously since the abduction, could finally find peace.
Nigerians Rejoice in Social Media Celebration
The video quickly attracted widespread attention online, with numerous Nigerians joining in the celebration. Social media users flooded the comments section with congratulatory messages and expressions of relief.
One commenter, TOMISIN, wrote: "Wow…congratulations glory be to God. Everything by me noted. Congratulations to you am so happy for you." Another user, Ennytoyin, simply stated: "Oluwa e seeeee," expressing gratitude to God in Yoruba.
The emotional moment represents a rare victory in Nigeria's ongoing struggle with kidnapping incidents, particularly in the northern regions. The successful resolution without ransom payment marks a significant achievement for Kwara State authorities and brings hope to other families still awaiting news of their loved ones.
The Eruku church attack, which occurred recently, had sent shockwaves through the community and highlighted the persistent security challenges facing many Nigerian communities. This positive development offers a moment of respite and demonstrates that coordinated efforts between communities and government authorities can yield positive results in addressing security concerns.
