Anambra woman repatriated from Delta for constitute nuisance by begging on the street of Asaba
Anambra State Commissioner for Women and Social Welfare, Hon Ify Obinabo, has cautioned a woman repatriated by the Delta State Government, for begging, to desist forthwith or face the law.
A press release issued on Friday, April 7, 2023, by the media aide to the Commissioner, Chidimma Ikeanyionwu, said the the 32-year-old mother of one identified as Ogochukwu Nwabude, was sent back to Anambra State for “constituting nuisance” by begging on the streets of Asaba.
According to the release, the woman who hails from Nnewi, was caught begging at Interbua roundabout in Asaba.
In her reaction, Mrs. Obinabo, who did not spare the repatriated beggar, frowned at the act but encouraged her to be an agent of change by engaging in a trade in order to fend for herself and her child.
The repatriated woman said that she only engaged in the act for two weeks before she was captured by the Delta State Government and repatriated to Anambra.
She promised not to engage in such and pledged to make good use of the empowerment.
She was later handed over to the Uruagu Woman leader in Nnewi, who will be monitoring her progress and as well report back to the ministry.
