Lagos Beggar

Some Nigerians have expressed displeasure at a beggar, using a fake baby to beg for alms on the streets of Lagos State.

Naija News reports that the video which emerged online shows a young lady who was carrying ‘clothes’ in the shape of a baby and begging for money.

The beggar had approached some passengers who suspected that the baby was not real and demanded to see the baby’s face

Surprisingly, when the lady opened the clothes covering the ‘ fake baby’ it was discovered that it was just more clothes folded into the shape of a baby.

When the passenger berated her for lying, the beggar didn’t show any form of remorse as she laughed over it.

The video angered many Nigerians online as they call for her arrest while some claimed they had fallen victim to the scam.
