The FCT Administration Social Development Secretariat (SDS) on Friday, in Abuja arrested 217 defaulters over street begging.

This is even as the secretariat declared zero tolerance against destitute, child abuse, street begging and all forms of activities that constitute environmental nuisance in the territory.

He disclosed that over 217 street beggars and destitute had been arrested by the enforcement team within three days of the renewed efforts to rid the city of environmental nuisance and other social vices. “In particular, there is a lady we arrested with N675,000 cash, some of the naira notes that were kept for long are looking very dirty. I have the video record kept as an evidence,” he said.

The director, while noting that beggars were parasites and burden to the society, reiterated the determination of SDS to change their minds set to enable them become useful to themselves and the society.
