The family of missing Namibian Nguvi Mberirua says they are still hoping for “her safe return” as efforts to locate her in the United Kingdom (UK) continue.
Mberirua went viral last week after a TikToker known as ‘Jason’ filmed her on a metro train in the UK appearing to be disoriented and unwell. She has been living and studying in London for the past few years.
A family member of Mberirua, who’s name is known to The Namibian but who declined to be identified, said that the family is hoping for her safe and swift return.
“We are working closely with relevant authorities to locate her,” he said.
He said the family will not be providing further information regarding the ongoing investigations by the UK High Commission and the Ministry of International Relations and Trade.
