Alubankudi who is a socialite and philanthropist shared the photos of the little girls on her social media page. She then cried out to NAPTIPS to correct the wrongs regarding the survival of such children.
Aisha's major worry as reflected in her post, is the danger the girl-child is exposed to for parading such terrain, unguarded.

Aisha's point revolved around protecting these little ones from dangers that can rob them off their innocence. She said: "These beautiful girls should be in school not hawking. NAPTIPS should do the needful. There should be enforcement of ban on underage hawking and all children must be educated. They're at risk of sexual abuse."
