Beggars Threaten To Sue Kaduna Government


Street beggars in Kaduna have threatened to sue the State government for placing a ban of them.

They allege defamation of character and violation of their right to life.




The group of beggars, consisting of men, women and children have stormed the Kaduna Secretariat of Nigeria Union of Journalists to make their feelings known. Led by Abdullahi Jugunu, the enraged group kicked against the ban on street begging and hawking.

Speaking on behalf of the people, Jugunu maintained that beggars ought to have been consulted before the pronouncement.

“Apart from feeling insulted, we will be seeking legal redress against the government, first for defamation of character,” he said.

“The ban which came only after the Zaria blast is a subtle way of calling us terrorists. Our right to life is now under threat because our existence is hinged on begging activities on the streets.

“We are giving the authorities three days to rescind their decision or risk being victims of a spell we would profess against them. Our promise for now is that we will be returning to the streets for our normal business.”

It will be recalled that Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, banned hawking and begging on the streets of Kaduna after a female suicide bomber hit Zaria, killing no less than 40 teachers.

    1. Of cos it's their human rights. But let me laugh small cos I don't know why I find this hilarious Loll.
      They have a chairman for their organisation? It is well with their soul. Rufai, over to u sir.

      A human rights lawyer would prolly take up their case for free. But the government may hinder them by backing it with whatever Kaduna has in its state law. Like the prohibition against loitering in specific zones...something silly like that.

  22. So these beggars have money to sue kaduna state governor and they are still begging instead of them to start business with the money. Stupid lazy set of people.

  23. Some beggars have rich children but will always go out to beg. I know of one old Hausa Mama, her children are so rich that they provided everything for her but this woman will follow others and be begging. Also heard that some of them are being paid/recruited by 'some' Alhajis to get money from people and send it to them for ...only God knows.
    Pay them salary, they'll still BEG.
