One of the beggars rescued during the raid which took place in Awka on Wednesday has been financially empowered by the Anambra State Women Affairs Commissioner.

The financial support was part of the ministry's mandate in ensuring that the vulnerable beggars caught in the streets are empowered to start up some businesses.

Handing over the cash to the disabled beggar, Ifeoma Chukwu, a native of Otolo Nnewi, the Women and social welfare Commissioner, Hon Ify Obinabo who noted that the support came from the wife of the governor of Anambra state, Mrs Nonye Soludo, advised her to make good use of the money given to him.

Hon Obinabo used the medium to warn miss Chukwu that if she's caught again, she will be charged to court.

On her part, Miss Chukwu appreciated the women and social welfare boss and promised to use the fund judiciously.
