The Kano State Hisbah Board arrested 226 beggars for allegedly violating the law banning street begging along the major streets of the state capital in November, an official said on Wednesday.

The officer in charge of the Anti-begging Unit of the board, Malam Musa Sangaya, in Kano said that 119 of the 226 beggars were children, while 107 were adult.He said, “Our men arrested 226 street beggars around Bata, Naibawa, Nassarawa hospital and Yankaba areas for violating the law banning street begging in Kano metropolis.

“Out of the 226 beggars, 107 are adult (both male and female), while 119 are children who engaged in begging in places like traffic junctions and restaurants.”

He stated that 98 of the arrested beggars hail from Kano city, while eight are from Bichi, Rano and Gezawa local government areas of the state.

According to him, the remaining 120 are from neighbouring Cameroon and Niger, among others.

Sangaya said six of them had been taken to court, while others who were first offenders, were taken to their various local government areas.

Me too...

Thats cos u be sureboi....

COOL

Hmmmmm, this life sha

Why is it that it different kinds of bad news we are hearing during this buhari era.....

they shud come nd arrest their relatives here in ondo too.

These ones will even insult you in hausa or fulani if yu dnt give em anything. They ddnt know I understand em.

They'd parade the streets nd shops daily. Kilode?

But they went to the streets to meet the beggers during electioneering campaigns.




Anyway, wetin this chic resemble?

Go school, them no go gree...

Why cracking them down when you have not provide any alternative means of livelihood for them!

solution is education, 99% beggars in the country are northerners and 99% of these people are Muslim.

after all education is haram according to the Quran.

if Niger Delta is a country it would have been a beggar free country.

In this buhari regime everyone is a potential beggar

Hmmm...

Nice move. Its all dz beggars and kids dat constitute nuisance to kano that out of their illiteracy and ignorance would hear that someone drew cartoon in denmark and go on killing spree.

If beggers go strike... una go know their economic importance to the northern states

Hmmmmn

So poor people can no longer beg in peace in Kano? Is that what they are trying to say?

How can they crack down what is in their DNA?

The core North has a fundamental problem that is continually producing these street beggars to the extent they export themselves to other parts of the country. No shame is attached to it but accepted as a way of life.

Nothing will make me give my money to those lazy beings because as long as one is not mentally incapacitated he/she should be useful to him/herself rather they prefer to multiply like rodents as l can't forget one who was boldly on the roadside with his 2 wives and kids. He has a right to polygamy but not the obligation to work!

too bad....make I go wash clothes mbok

arrest and take them where?

Nice step mr governor, atleast this bold step will realy put a sense into their head...

Isn't it better to beg than to steal?

These religion of p*ss people sef

...You are not intelligent.

O boi... Beggars take over, Iya NLA Iya won

Them go arrest more than half of Kano population be that.

THIS IS WHY GOVERNMENT SHOULD CONSIDER CHILD BENEFIT FOR ALL NIGERIA CHILDREN LIKE OTHER ADVANCED COUNTRY (EG UK)
IF A MOTHER COLLECTS 5K PER CHILD , THAT IS 20K A MONTH OVER 4 CHILDREN, NO BEGGER WILL GO ON THE STREET AGAIN
(COST TO FINANCE THIS IS LESS THAN THE MONEY SPEND BY GOVERNMENT TO FINANCE HOUSE OF REPS)
CHILD BENEFITS PRINCIPLE IS WHAT UK AND OTHERS USED TO ERADICATE POVERTY AFTER SECOND WORLD WAR.
I WILL PREPARE THE BILL TO BE SPONSORED BY MY SENATOR NEXT YEAR.

Why take them to court?

Why not involve them in some self empowerment scheme and watch them go productive

Kano, the city of Kofar(gates) and beggars. Ko da me ka zo, an fi ka even for begging we carry first.
