Kenyan authorities in Mombasa County have nabbed a 23-year-old Tanzanian national who was making a killing by begging money from unsuspecting Kenyans by posing as a disabled mother in the streets.
According to Ibrahim Basafar, the County inspectorate Deputy Director in charge of operations, his officers acted on a tip off from members of the public who reported a suspicious group of foreigners plying in that ‘trade’ in Momabasa.
After investigations, the officers launched an operation where they nabbed the 23-year-old pretending to be a disabled mother.
However, what shocked the detectives more was the discovery that the children caught with the Tanzanian national were not her own children but those ârentedâ from Kenyan parents.
