The Kano State Hisba Board said on Saturday that it had facilitated the return
of 52 street beggars to their states of origin.
The Public Relations Officer of the board, Malam Mohammed Yola, disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Kano. He said the affected beggars were brought to Kano from Lagos state in December, 2014.
“The street
beggars were arrested by the Lagos State Government which banned street begging
and sent them back to Kano. The Kano State Government then directed the board
to return some of them to their respective states of origin”, Yola said.
He said 29 of them
were from some local government areas in Kano state while the remaining 52 were
from other states in the North.
Yola further said
13 of those affected came from Jigawa, 12 from Katsina, three from Niger and
four each from Zamfara and Kebbi. Others, he said, included seven from Kaduna,
two from Borno, six from Niger Republic and one from Ghana.
