The Borno State Government has banned street begging and loitering in the state.
This was made known in a statement issued by the Borno State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Prof. Usman Tar, on Sunday, October 22, 2023.
Tar said the ban was with immediate effect, noting that begging and aimless loitering were not part of the culture of the people of Borno State.

The commissioner stated: “In Borno State, street begging and aimless loitering are not in our character. We are dignified people.
“This is to inform members of the public that the Borno State Government has placed a strict ban on all street begging, loitering, and gallivanting within and around Maiduguri Metropolis and Jere LGAs.”
He, however, warned that violators of the ban would be prosecuted by the state government.
