No More Begging Alms in Lagos as Lagos Court Sentences 30 Beggars to Prison.

Beggars are now Locked up for begging alms. Interesting! About 30 of them were sentenced to Prison by Magistrate Court sitting in Alausa, Ikega, Today Monday the 4th day of February.

The Attorney General of Lagos State said the Beggars committed offence under Criminal Law of the State. Beggars alms in the streets of Lagos is illegal and the state environmental agency is doing all they can to get rid of as many Beggars as they can. Hmm... Operation Clean Lagos but i wonder if sending them to prison will be the best for Lagos and these people?
