The Anambra government had earlier claimed the woman was 'repatriated' from Delta State to Anambra State for engaging in street begging.
Government has reacted to the report that it “deported” a beggar in the state to Anambra State.
Mrs Obinabo, the commissioner, was said to have assisted the woman with a “little token” to help start her start up a business, according to the statement.But the Delta State Government has refuted the report that it deported the woman from the state. The ministry, consequently, “returned her” to its counterpart – Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development in Anambra State — “for necessary support,” according to the governor’s spokesperson.
“The insinuations in some quarters that the woman was deported by Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State Government are, therefore, uncharitable,” Mr Ifeajika said.
