Anambra State Women and Social Welfare Commissioner, Hon Ify Obinabo has cautioned the repatriated woman caught in the streets of Delta state for begging to desist forthwith or face law.
This she said in her office in Awka when Ogochukwu Nwabude, a 32 year old mother of one was sent back to Anambra by Delta state government for constituting nuisance by begging in the said state.
Reacting, the women and social welfare boss, Obinabo, who did not spare the repatriated begger frowned at the act but encouraged her to be agent of change by engaging in a trade in order to fend for herself and her child.
She went further to empower her with a little token to help her start up a business of her choice but warned that if caught again, she will be taken to court and face the law.
On her part, the Anambra born begger who hails from Nnewi said that she only engaged in the act for two weeks before she was captured by Delta state government and repatriated back to the Anambra.
The 32 year old street begger while at the commissioner's office promised not to engage in such and pledged to make good use of the empowerment.
She was later handed over to the Uruagu Woman leader in Nnewi who will be monitoring her progress and as well report back to the ministry.
