The release of a man from kidnappers’ captivity was met with mixed reactions after a video surfaced on TikTok showing family and friends celebrating his return with a lavish party. The video, shared by @machala940, the girlfriend of the man who was kidnapped, captured the festivities as they gathered to express gratitude for his safe return after spending two days in the kidnappers’ den.

The celebratory mood, however, sparked controversy online, with many netizens expressing concern over the ostentatious display. Some critics argued that such public celebrations could attract further attention from kidnappers, potentially putting the man at risk of being targeted again.
