Read what an eye witness wrote…
Stop giving beggers money mostly those women from the eastern part of Nigeria that goes about as blind people, none of them are blind. They comes to Warri from the east mostly from IMO state to hussle in Warri as blind.
I have severally warn this particular woman and some others at Jakpa junction but they refused to desist from this ugly trade. I had to formally report them to the Police at Ebrumede, on the 12th of December 2018 at about quarter to 11am I storm Jakpa junction with police officers to arrest her. Although some were very smart to have escape but luck ran against this woman, at first herself and her daughter were crying and the Police officers were just contemplating whether to continue the arrest or leave her because they were convince the woman is blind but I insist.
On getting to the station ,one other Police man threatening to put tear gas in her eyes, it was then she owe up that she is not blind. Her name according to her is Ada Nwachukwu ,she came to Warri to hussle from Orlu in IMO state.
Let’s not encourage these women by giving them money, none of them are blind. I mean none of them are blind. They make a minimum of five thousand naira daily, as at when she was arrested she had made N3,270.
