A 44-year old woman and mother of three children has been arrested by the police at the domestic wing of the Murtala Muhammed Airport in Lagos, Southwest Nigeria, for faking pregnancy to earn a living as a beggar.

The suspect, Mrs. Kemi Durojaye, was nabbed yesterday begging for alms at airport road in Ikeja with pieces of torn clothes she used to deceive passers-by stitched to her stomach.

Passers-by who have been seeing and giving her alms over the past three months were made to believe that she was near delivery time.

She claimed that she has no family member or job in Lagos and is begging to survive.

Thank God she was not carrying cocaine.
