Wonders shall never end, Beggars are now being locked up for begging alms in Lagos. Nawaa! About 30
of them were sentenced to Kirikiri Prison, some Badagry prison by the
Special Offences Magistrate Court sitting in Alausa,
Ikeja, today Monday February 4th.
According to the Attorney General of Lagos State said the beggars committed an offence under the criminal law of the State.
Begging alms in the streets of Lagos is illegal and the state environmental agency is doing all they can to get rid of as many beggars as they can. But jailing them is it the solution ?
