 Across a session of Lagos residents have frowned at the move by some individuals to discredit the story of Mary Daniel, the amputee who was hawking satchel water on the streets. Plus Steve Africa's correspondent Uchechi Uwehi Daniel went to town and now reports. The pathetic story of an amputee orphan with a two-year-old baby and an aged grandmother drove donations from individuals and the Lagos state government. The event almost went sour when reports emerged that her narration was falsified and therefore the aid should be withdrawn. In a dramatic manner, the Lagos state government one of her benefactors stepped in and decided to shield her from her blackmailers by supervising the funds. Do the people feel the same way? There's no point in saying she lied okay there's thousands of her all over the country probably she didn't come up with this nobody would have noticed her. I want to believe that the only way she first she can be noticed is to put it in that way but with all this she forgives him and I mean consider her sorry consider and forgive her. Already you've seen the picture in her that she worked with she's a struggling one with with her clutches to make it her own delivery and she has a child so if they want to help let them forget about all those all other propagandas. Regardless of the controversies surrounding her contrived story many say the resources should not be withheld from her when needed. For some it is an act of obtaining money under false pretence but to these respondents it should be ignored. The woman is an half-card and there is nothing with her nobody can help her from us. If the government want to help her let them help her. A social worker Dorothy in Germante who spoke to us on the phone explains that her situation notwithstanding should elicit help from good Samaritans. From experience for somebody to hide up her mind that her parents are dead a lot must have gone under the a lot must have happened it's not in our place to tell people how they should perceive people who I don't know I don't know what the relationship is or what the relationship was but is she in need yes does she need support yes should she be supported yes does she is there any possibility why she would say her parents are no more one her parents still are alive yes there are so many reasons is it a yardstick to deny her of support that she's entitled to absolutely not she's in need and a problem not addressed remains unaddressed Governor Babajideh Somolu has however handed her over to officials of the social welfare and some Kogi leaders resident in Lagos Uchechi Ugoihe Daniel reporting for Plus TV Africa fresh news updates
