“Detectives found one Jacob Monday from Obi Local Government Area of Benue State who said that the so-called NGO brought him to Lagos under the pretence that they will assist him in raising money to tackle his health challenge.

“They promised to help him secure fund for a hernia operation but ended up putting him on the streets of Lagos to beg for money for the past three months.

“The worst is that all the money realised from the begging activity was given to the group leaders who lodged in hotels.
