Among described Okori as a personal father figure, linked through her close bond with Oulanyah. ‘We lost a dad… he had become a father to me through his son,’ she said, reflecting on Oulanyah’s brilliance as a lawyer and leader.
She committed to supporting the family, promising aid for education and logistics. ‘We will never let the family walk alone,’ Among assured, urging others to emulate Okori’s impactful life.
