Borno govt bans street begging, loitering

Borno State Government has placed a ban on street begging and loitering in Maiduguri city and environs.

This is contained in a public notice issued by the State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Prof. Usman Tar, on Sunday in Maiduguri.

Tar said street begging and aimless loitering were not part of the culture of the Borno people.

“In Borno State, street begging and aimless loitering are not in our character. We are dignified people.

 “This is to inform members of the public that the Borno State Government has placed a strict ban on all street begging, loitering, and gallivanting within and around Maiduguri Metropolis and Jere LGAs,” he said.

The notice said the ban is with immediate effect, warning that violators would be prosecuted.
