In the viral video shared by @abutex352 on TikTok, the elderly man narrated how he used to work as a security guard before the company was demolished.
He then said that if he could get N5,000, he would use it to buy pure water and resell it so that he wouldn’t have to beg other people.
The person behind the camera said he would help the elderly man.

“People are really suffering.”
