A group of beggars at the popular Kano road, Kaduna State, rejected an old 1,000 naira note given to them by a young man.
According to the Daily Post on Wednesday, the young man who identified himself as Caleb was approached by three beggars on wheelchairs as he alighted from a bus and decided to give the beggars an old N1000 note from his wallet.
But to his surprise, the beggars turned around, and moved away from the young man, rejecting his offer.
