The Anambra state Commissioner for Women and Children Affairs, Hon. Lady Ndidi Mezue has rescued some children used by their single mother for begging around Awka, the Anambra state capital.
Lady Mezue and her team apprehended the middle aged mother of the children on Friday, 21st May, 2021, around Stanel World in Awka, where she was using her three underage children to seek for alms from members of the public.
On enquiry, the woman who was married to an Oyo state man but now divorced confessed she had no money to pay school bills for the children, hence her act.
The Commissioner, Lady Mezue cautioned her against using her innocent children to solicit for alms with a promise to take up their responsibilities going forward.
The Commissioner keeping to her promise, on Monday enrolled the children in a school in Awka with the ministry also providing the necessary items needed for their education together with a cash donation to their mother which is aimed at enabling her float a business to further cater for her family.
