Chinyere Onuara, 30, is believed to have been a widow and mother of five. She was arrested in front of a commercial bank in Akure, where she had been asking alms for months.
According to OrangeFM, she was apprehended alongside her 4-year-old son, Chidibere, whose situation caught the attention of the ministry officials and they tried to save the woman and the son, without their knowledge that she was not blind.
During the interrogation, Chinyere claimed to have left Ebonyi for Akure a few weeks ago to help one of her friends who was supposed to be blind to collect alms, but it did not go as planned when she arrived in Akure, Ondo State. .
She said instead of using it as a guide for her alms collection, her blind friend decided to go get another person and so she made the decision to disguise herself as a beggar to make ends meet. She finally confessed that she makes at least N1,000 a day.
Chinyere expressed regret for her action and said it was to raise money to start a business, following the recent disappearance of her husband after he was poisoned. She appealed to the state government to give her more power, rather than punish her. And he promised that she would never go back in such a way to extort money from the public.
The director of social welfare in the ministry, Sola Aladesuyi, revealed that the ministry will contact her counterpart Ebonyi to verify Chinyere's assertions to ensure that it does not pose a risk to state security before she is not sent back.
