There was a mild drama on Wednesday January 25 at the popular Kano-road, Kaduna when some group of beggars, rejected old 1,000 naira notes given to them by a good Samaritan.
It was learnt that a young was accosted by three beggars on wheelchairs as he alighted from a bus, realising that they were asking for money, the man took a N1000 note from his wallet and stretched it towards the most senior beggar among the three.
However, the beggars looked at themselves, swivelled their wheelchairs around and moved away from the young man, rejecting his offer.
Speaking to reporters, the young man who identified himself as Caleb, said the beggars came to him asking for alms. and he gave them what he had on me but they rejected it.”
The young man explained that he only had the old naira notes and have not been able to get the new ones despite his efforts.
