Kwara State Government to Take Beggars off the Streets

Date: 2013-02-14

Kwara State government might have perfected plans to deport beggars, who in recent times, have turned major streets in Ilorin, the state capital, into an eyesore.

Some concerned citizens believe that the presence of these street beggars "is a mockery of a clean state."

The worst hit areas are Gambari, Oja Oba, Tipper Garage, Tanke, Sango, Maraba and Challenge.

The state's Information Commissioner Tunji Morounfoye, said most of the beggars were professionals "who make fortunes out of begging," noting that the state would soon find a solution to the beggars' onslaught.

A government official, who pleaded anonymity, said some of the beggars were pretenders, adding, "they will act as persons of disabilities in the day but at night, they are in perfect state of health".

"Kwara government may adopt Lagos style, which recently deported beggars who were not from the state," he said.
