I represented a fashion house at the recent Da Viva African Fashion Week, the company used the opportunity to launch their new fabric collections and designs and continued till late. I and a few friends left at about 10:30pm at which point the show hadn't ended.
I was driving and had to drop my girls at their homes since it was quite late. Mary was the second friend I dropped off by her gate. I had started the car to leave when she approached the car visibly shaken after struggling awhile with the gate.
Her husband (who I later found out she wasn't yet married to but has a son for) had asked the gateman to lock the gate and collected the keys.
"Call him now" we suggested to her, behold her phone was off, low battery.
"Use my phone" I offered but she didn't know his number off hand,
Lord have mercy, if I took her to my house wouldn't I be accused of supporting her supposed wrong behavior but do I leave her outside at the mercy of the dangers of the night?
