"I pray she’s safe. But imagine imagine @JAMBHQ scheduling exams for 6:30am. What time do you want these kids to get to their centres???"

@BashirH00404265 said:

"Why will you allow her to go alone? Even adults are not safe around that axis. I pray she comes back safely."

@uccy_r said:

"Everyone should know about the Google Maps location-sharing feature. It’s very easy to set up, completely free, and incredibly useful. When your loved ones go out, make sure you can see their live location. I pray this girl returns home safely, this is heartbreaking."
