The Socio-Economic Rights Accountability Project has urged the Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike, to withdraw his threat to arrest beggars in the nation’s capital or face legal action.
The group, in a post on its official X handle, #SerapNigeria, on Wednesday, stated that no one should be criminalised for their socio-economic status, adding that the Minister should instead provide opportunities to help them rebuild their lives and reintegrate into society.
The flag-off ceremony for access road construction in the Katampe District of the Federal Capital on Tuesday, Wike threatened a crackdown on beggars, announcing that enforcement agents would start apprehending them from Monday.
