Following the arrest of a notorious beggar, Hadiza Ibrahim
in Abuja, the officials of the Social Development Secretariat, SDS, in the
Federal Capital Territory Administration, FCTA, have clarified that the suspect
has no link with any criminal activity.
Hadiza Ibrahim was arrested a few days ago at the Ademola Adetokunbo
Crescent, in Wuse 2 District in the nation’s capital, after she was caught with
a huge cash amounting to N500,000 and $100.
While addressing reporters on Thursday in Abuja, the Acting
Director, Social Welfare Services of the SDS, Malam Sani Amar said the huge
cash was an accumulation of her N2,000 daily contribution which she started
long ago.
Malam Sani Amar told journalists that preliminary
investigations conducted by the SDS showed that Hadiza has no links with any
organized criminal syndicates as was earlier perceived by the general public.
While urging residents of the territory to discourage
begging, the official noted that Hadiza, a native of Kaduna State was able to
make so much money because of the location she usually stays to beg.
Amar said: “Within our little knowledge and experience in
discharging our duty, with the assistance of security personnel attached to us,
we understand that Hadiza was not involved in any criminal activity and if you
look at the money found in her possession, it was accumulated overtime.
“On the profiling we did on her, we gave the Police in our
team time to play their role and they did what they could and it was clearly
established that she was not into such nefarious acts.
“She was so wise to have selected the areas of her own begging business, where she realises huge money daily.”
