Reverse Your Anti-Begging Law Or Face Dire Consequences – Kaduna State Beggars Tell State Governor

Beggars comprising of deaf and dumbs, the blind, crippled, aged persons yesterday staged a protest to the Kaduna state chapter of the Nigerian Union of Journalists where they expressed their displeasure over the anti-begging bill that was signed into law by the state governor, Nasir El-Rufai, last week.

Speaking to journalists at the NUJ secretariat, the beggars said the governor must reverse the law within 7 days or they will be forced to take over the government house. The group described the new law as insensitive to their plight.
