King of Beggars Demands Better Accommodation for Wives from Makinde

The ‘king’ of the blind beggars in Oyo State, Alhaji Ibrahim Mohammed, who was among hundreds of beggars recently relocated from Sabo area of Ibadan to a newly built resettlement centre by the state government has demanded better accommodation for his three wives and numerous children.



Mohammed made his request known on Friday during an interview with Nigerian Tribune on the relocation to the Akinyele Resettlement Center.



In his words, “We want the governor to build separate rooms for those of us with wives and children. I have three wives and plenty children. And As a married man, it is not ideal and appropriate for me to be sleeping in a general room with my wives.”



“So, I am imploring the governor to help us construct rooms for married couples among us. Though the present expansive rooms here can individually accommodate more than 20 people at a time, government should build different rooms for us that have wives. Having a separate room accommodation is very important.”
