Couple who use their ten-year-old daughter for begging have been captured and brought before the Women and Social Welfare Commissioner in her office in Awka.
The couple Mr Luckylight Onukwe Sunday and his wife Mrs Chinasa Sunday both from Abia state but resident at Oji River was caught by a good Nigerian who brought them to the office of the Women Affairs Commissioner.
Mr Sunday who claimed to be a prophet and on a divine mission in Awka, explained that they relocated to Oji River from Lagos after life became hard for his family and decided to use their daughter for begging purposes while the wife Chinasa who claimed to be an Evangelist denied ever having knowledge of her husband’s begging activity.
However, the ten-year-old girl revealed that both parents are fully aware and that she has also gone begging with them on two different occasions.
Reacting, Mrs Obinabo frowned at the couple for begging on the streets of Anambra and was furious that they subjected their underaged daughter to such degrading act.
She mandated them to enroll the girl in school and do a weekly report at the Ministry in order to ensure that they adhere strictly to her order.
Although she pardoned them because it is their first time, she warned that if caught the second time, she will not hesitate to arrest them and take them to court and also stated that on no account will they use their daughter for any illegal act.
