Today while going about my hustle, I came upon a crowd after Oshodi under bridge (Lagos). I got close enough to hear the gist. I made to walk away, but decided it was a story worth sharing. I whipped out my Nokia 112, got into the crowd and took some shots - codedly.

Apparently a handicapped beggar and his aide (the guy pushing the wheel chair) block a car owner, accusing him of hit-and-run. Upon interrogation by the police, the beggar and his aide claimed the car owner ‘knacked’ him at a previous location and damaged his wheel chair. The car owner denied ever seeing, not to talk of hitting a handicapped beggar. As to how he was able to chase after a car, the beggar said he used “okada”(and there are no commercial bikes at Oshodi).

The beggar was offered N3,000 as compensation for an event that couldn’t be proven (he didn’t even have bruises), yet his aide asked him to reject it. That was when all the initial sympathizers began to suspect foul play. Omo the guy was waving his walking stick like a samurai sword. The crowd were divided over if there was indeed an accident or it was a new criminal trend, but majority agreed it was a new criminal trend.
Long story short, he collected the compensation after much ado and everybody went their ways.

Hmmmn, Year’s end don dey reach…people eye don dey red!

Who paid the 3k?

Police interrogating the accuser...

The car owner going his way after the wahala was 'resolved'....

Beggars too don dey steal. E times tins.

Its an old trick.
I've had an experience but I didn't drop a dime. Not when I threatened to crush the rogue beggar and his aide if they don't clear off my way.

Even beggars "wan" hammer. . . If mugu fall
