Some women who feign blindness and use rented kids to beg for alms, were, yesterday, apprehended by the task force team of Anambra Ministry of Women Affairs, Social welfare and Children Development.
One of the suspects revealed that one Miss Edith, who hails from Ebonyi state and is currently on the wanted list by the Anambra Police force, brings the kids to them every morning for them to rent at N1,000 per day.
During interrogation, the Commissioner in-charge of the Ministry was able to discover that the kids don’t even know where their real parents are. It is being speculated that they are victims of kidnapping or child trafficking.
It was also discovered that the group of fake beggars camp at Army Barracks, Onitsha and none of them are from Anambra State. Most of them are from Ebonyi, Abia, Kogi and Imo states.
