Another viewer commented, “Spiritual attacks… May Almighty God intervene and rescue his destiny.” A similar comment read, “aki this is even spiritual aki Mungu aintervene, atasaidika aje because he is losing it.”
A concerned TikTok user, Yvonne Magaya spoke about how someone needs to check on him because mental illness often reoccurs when medication is not taken consistently.
