Seven suspects have been arrested for importing eight physically challenged children into the state for the purpose of begging.<\/p>\n

The Decoy Team of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS), Lagos Police Command, which made the arrest said the suspects, along with six of their eight beggars, were arrested at Mobolaji Bank Anthony way after almost a week of monitoring.<\/p>\n

According to the RRS Commander, ACP Olatunji Disu, intelligence received from one of its social media platforms led to the arrest.<\/p>\n

The RRS had gathered that some group of people were importing physically challenged children into Lagos and were using them as beggars.<\/p>\n

Amongst the suspects arrested are: Sanni Isiaku (40), Abubakar Gahu (50), Abdullahi Mohammed (45), Nasiru Yusman (21), Mato Abdullahi (20), Nura Idris (17) and Sagiru Ibrahim (26).<\/p>\n

The physically challenged children found in their possession are: Aminu Kabiru (12), Yusuph Nasiru (9), Amina Kabir (12), Ayuba Idris (12).<\/p>\n

During preliminary interrogation, Mato Abdullahi narrated, \u201cI hired Amina Kabir from her mother who happened to be my sister. I bring her early in the morning to under bridge to beg. She begged while I wait around.<\/p>

\u201cAt the end of the day, we make between N3000 and N4000. Depending on what we made, I remove my own and I hand over the remaining to the lady.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore, we make between N5000 and N6000. But now, things have changed. We don\u2019t make up to that anymore. A lot of us are here now. Before you get to one car, another set of beggars have gotten there.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have other people we settle daily. He is like our overseer. He has his own cut in what everybody makes. He comes through for us whenever there are problems like arrests.”<\/p>\n

According to Abubakar Gahu, \u201cI use my son for begging. There are five of them. He is physically challenged. Three others are in school in Agege. The last one is still very young.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is the money making machine while his brothers go to school. I bring him here for begging. It is whatever we raise daily that we use in maintaining the family.\u201d<\/p>\n

Disu said the case has been handed over to the Gender Department of the Lagos State Police Command for further investigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
