Also reacting, Mercy Johnson wrote
“This is victory; There are so many scars but this is a victory to defeat the voice and the hand that tried to silence you. And this is marriage, to share a love so deep that it becomes a source of strength in the deepest pain. God bless you both! @timidakolo and @busoladakolo I stand with you at this time and always, you are such an example to every relationship.”
