Omorere said he had warned them to stay away from that area and stop deceiving people with their lies and trick, but they wouldn’t hear, they keep coming back to that Jakpa Junction.

So yesterday, he led a team of police officers who raided their spot and arrested the fake blind beggar who was with her daughter as others fled on sighting the security agents.

On getting to the police station, it was gathered that the police officers were convinced that the woman was actually blind, but immediately one of the policemen threatened to put tear gas in her eyes. She confessed and admitted that she was not blind.
