On Saturday night, hundreds gathered to honour Baye’s memory. The devastated dad, speaking through a translator, shared the family’s deep pain and thanked everyone who showed support.
“Please stop the violence. My family is suffering unimaginably,” he told the crowd.
The emotional speech ended with a loud cheer of “AMEN” and heartfelt applause.
