A cross section of hawkers and beggars operating in the Federal Capital Territory have reacted to the arrest order made by the Abuja Environmental Protection Board (AEPB).
The Abuja Environmental Protection Board had recently announced that it is collaborating with security agencies to commence arrest of hawkers, corporate beggars and other illegals in the Federal Capital Territory.
The Director of AEPB, Dr Hassan Abubakar, made this known on Thursday in Abuja.
Reacting to this development, a sugarcane hawker who was arrested under pedestrian bridge by Zankli Hospital, Utako on Friday, said that they are being marginalized by the officials who frequently request for a particular amount to be paid to them.
The hawker who pleaded anonymous, said that he was arrested without his sugarcane wheelbarrow.
