The
Lagos State Government declared war against begging and jailed over
120 beggars last year.
On
Monday, the cripple and six others were convicted and sentenced
accordingly by the court. Because of his predicament and being a
hernia patient, Udoyo was convicted and remanded at the Lagos State
Rehabilitation Centre, Majidun, where he will spend two years.
The
crippled man was said to have been brought to Lagos by his relation,
Sunday Etim, 26, from Cross River State, to beg so that they could
raise fund to carry out hernia operation. But two of them were
arrested while begging.
Etim
got two years imprisonment without the option of fine along with
Wasiu Abass, 24, while Udoyo was remanded at Majidun after they
pleaded guilty to the charge against them.
Three
others, two sisters and male beggars were also arraigned same day and
sentenced to one year imprisonment without the option of fine after
they pleaded guilty. They are Peace Ezugwu, 24; Mercy Ezugwu,
26, and Dotun Owokiigbe, 20.

Why
is it always easy and the judgment quick on the less privileged but
always hard and never ending when it comes to passing judgment on
those who have caused this ones to become helpless; the corrupt
Nigerian Politicians. This a great injustice that must be corrected.
When will the people ever get justice? When?
