Who knows how many people have been kidnapped/killed/mai'med using the BRT bus? #JusticeForBamise.BRT bus is supposed to be safe & better yet accountable, but they can’t even account for the driver!"

"Bamise did not go to a man's house, she was not with a yahoo boy. Bamise entered a government-owned vehicle but she was killed. This is so heartbreaking and annoying. May her murderers never see peace in their life."

Comedian Debo Marcaroni wrote:

"Bamise’s story is so heartbreaking. It is even more worrisome that we don’t know how many people have suffered the same fate as her. For all we know, there could be more to suffer the same fate and that is because it is hard to get Justice in our society."
