It is emerging that a woman who had been known to be blind and had been using her condition to beg for alms may not be blind after all.

               
           
               
                   

Reports say the woman was apprehended in Abakaliki of Nigeria’s Ebonyi State.

               
           
               
                   

She was reportedly arrested by SA to Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State on Mineral Resources & Environmental Management.

               
           
               
                   

The woman who is from Imo State, stands by the Union Bank Junction in Abakaliki to beg for alms.

               
           
               
                   

She allegedly applies Rob ointment to her eyes and this makes her tear up, she then keeps the eye shut while one of her children leads her by the hand. When the effect of the balm wears off, she allegedly reapplies it.
