The Delta State government has given reasons for evacuating over a dozen homeless children, including a 19-year-old mother and her three-month-old baby from the streets.
Ministry officials lamented that the state capital has been experiencing an influx of people from neighboring and far states, who besiege the streets to beg for alms, while some have been reported to be involved in criminal activities.
The Commissioner for Women Affairs, Community and Social Development, Mrs Pat Ajudua, after a raid on strategic locations in Asaba and the environs, disclosed that the exercise was aimed at taking children off the streets, where they would be profiled before they are reunited with their parents or caregivers.
“They constitute nuisance and as the days go by, they end up becoming criminals that will pose security risks to the state.
“Delta State does not encourage street hawking; we don’t encourage little children, or even women sleeping under the bridge” she disclosed.
A fatherless twin Clinton and Henry, who were caught alongside other children loitering in the early hours of the day were apprehended.
Decrying his arrest, Somto Ifekanma, stated he was a sachet water vendor, who had spent the night on the streets, because he could not secure an accommodation.
“You won’t see me in Summit (Junction) again. It was because of what happened last night that I went there.”
Similarly, 19-year-old Regina Albert from Onitsha, Anambra State, who alleged she had cancer, had taken her baby to the popular Summit Junction in Asaba, in the early hours of the morning to seek alms, before they were evacuated by officials of the ministry.
“I sat down begging to secure the needed fund to have an operation, when the officials came and arrested me.”

The United States of America billionaire and head of the Department of Government Efficiency, Elon Musk, has said51 the country must reduce federal spending to avoid slipping into bankruptcy.
Elon Musk disclosed this in a video he posted on his official X account on Monday.
According to him, all federal spending in the US stems from taxation, either through direct tax or inflation.
“All federal spending is taxation. It is either direct tax revenue or inflation (they just print money). We have to reduce federal spending, or we will go bankrupt as a country,” he stated in the short video.
This comes as DOGE-backed President Donald Trump had continued to ramp up investigation and review on spending across US federal agencies.
The US International Development Agency, Department of Treasury, Education, Health, Agriculture, and Defence are worse hit by DOGE’s sledgehammer aimed at cutting costs.
Earlier, DAILY POST reported that DOGE terminated 586 wasteful contracts across 10 federal agencies in the US valued at $2.1 billion.
