While in the keke, the young man was shocked to see the beggar take out wads of money from his pocket and count them.
The young man felt betrayed, saying the beggar lied to him that he did not have any money on him.
“He lied to me that he didn’t have any money with him,” he wrote while sharing a video of the beggar counting money in the keke.
He ended up in the same keke as the beggar and found something else.

Beggar who reportedly owns 5 houses
Meanwhile, TheTalk.NG previously reported about a rich beggar who reportedly owns five houses, a sachet water factory and a transport business.
Dubbed the king of beggars, the man turned begging into a money-spinner and has four wives and 18 children.
TheTalk.NG noted that begging in Lagos and other parts of Nigeria has become rampant, with some of the beggars being richer than those who take pity on their conditions and hand out stipends to them.
