Download Why would beggars steal my little brother?

Samuel Abdulraheem was just seven years old when he was snatched while playing outside his home in northern Nigeria. His older sister Firdausi was distraught. The police were called, a search was conducted – but it yielded nothing. Samuel had disappeared.

However, Firdausi still clung to belief he might still be alive. And six years later, at the other end of the country, she finally found him. Samuel had been abducted, and taken to Lagos where he was used as a guide for blind beggars.
