..The report, according to the spokesperson for the destitute, Imam Abubakar Abdullahi, Serikin Hausawa of Hausawa Community, Oja’ba, Ibadan, had created deep hatred for his people.

Abdullahi said that “The reports that some wealthy people are buying money from beggars, including the physically-challenged people, for money rituals is not true.


As a result of the claim that some ritualists do buy money from these beggars, there has been public resentment against these innocent people.

“What we know is that traders, hawkers and commercial drivers do come to these beggars who are mainly blind and lame people, to change money (get smaller denominations).

“We need to clear our names so that people will not be punishing us for offences we don’t know anything about.”

I personally will like to enlighten southerners that this claim is true and real,many of these beggars sell the money they received at 100,000 for 120,000-130000 thousand rate to yahoo boys at agege railway area,many aboki fellas of theirs often avoid their tribe men,i will like people who had personally experienced this too to butress this,have you personally experinced this too??
