Woman rents babies to beg on street

Nigeria authorities have uncovered a scam in which a woman ‘rented’ three babies for street begging.

The fraudster was spotted with three very young infants laid out next to each other on a blanket in Lagos.

She had claimed to be destitute and asked for ‘alms’ – or charitable donations.

But onlookers grew suspicious when they realised the babies did not look alike.

Street children then revealed to authorities that the woman ‘rented’ the children from mothers in hospital
She used them to beg for money and then split the earnings with the mothers afterwards.

The woman fled when officials from Ikeja Local Government arrived, NigeriaToday reports.
