Kaduna beggars return to street, defy state government's ban (photo)

Beggars in Kaduna state yesterday defied the state government's ban on begging on the streets. The beggars are pictured above on Kawo street in the state. Some of them say they will not stop begging as they have no other means of livelihood.

Governor Nasir El-Rufai immediately after the Sabongari bomb blast on July 7th, placed a ban on begging and street hawkers in the state.
