A female beggar using a fake baby to solicit for money in Lagos traffic has been exposed.
She was caught with the cleverly stuffed “baby” while begging for alms in a heavy traffic gridlock on a Lagos street.
A video shared online shows the moment the beggar faking hunger and suffering, approached passengers in a private car and began asking them for help, with the baby in her arm.
The occupants of the vehicle suspected that the bundle in the lady’s arms was not a human being.
She was reluctant to show the baby’s face when they asked her to show it. They insisted she show the face only to discovered that it was all a creatively stuffed bundle of rags.
Many commuters have equally been deceived in traffic. Where the baby is real, some of them were found to have been rented from day care centres.
