Tonto Dikeh has condemned the violent treatment of a fake beggar caught in Abakiliki, Ebonyi state.

The man, pretending to be an accident victim, was exposed when a Good Samaritan offered to take him to the hospital to treat his wounds but he declined. Further investigation showed that his bandaged limbs were just for show and nothing was wrong with him

The fake beggar was severely beaten after he was exposed and the video was shared online.

Actress Tonto Dikeh took to @LindaIkejiBlogOfficial on Instagram to condemn the beating. She went on to blame the government for the situation of the country that pushed the man to resort to deception in order to make money.

She wrote:

Seun chick

Nawa oo. Did he force anybody to give him money, so why the beating

Tonto, don't mind them, everybody dey para now, I really pity anybody who falls into the arms of a mob, all the pain and regret of being a Nigerian will be poured on the person, for some people all they need to do is imagine the person is Buhari.
Am beginning to like you small small, continue to use your medicine okay, May God continue to help you.
