A Nigerian Twitter user caught a woman who pretends to be pregnant and begs for money on the Lagos Island, yesterday. Jonathan Olakunle, the man who caught her as she was trying to stick piles of clothes in her stomach region, explained that she always acted like she was pregnant in a bid to appeal to commuters’ senses of pity.
Olakunle also revealed that when the woman collects the money, she would spend everything on hard drugs as she had become an addict. He subsequently explained that the woman needs medical attention.

After collecting enough money, she resume to drug base to make her purchase. Say no to hard drugs. #saynotodrugabuse @naijama @HabibaBalogun @pius_adesanmi @Gidi_Traffic @Chude @mojubaolu @instablog9ja #NDLEA @ndlea_nigeria https://t.co/Scj7Vl2ZqE
