Two fully fit men have been captured in a viral video preparing for the day’s work as cripple beggars.
In the viral video shared, one of the con artists pretending to be a cripple was spotted seated in a wheelchair with another man walking towards him.

The video captured the two con artists around a neighbourhood close to a busy road, with the man in white not seated in the wheelchair pretending to be a cripple, the other man proceeded to assist him by pushing him to their begging spot on the Accra streets.
Some Ghanaians reacting to the viral video stated, “Early morning staff meeting: CEO of Sympathy Ltd and his Operations Manager discussing today’s targets”.
“Y’all look at this and laugh, but what would you have them do? In a country were an honest day of work is a privilege, what would you have them do?”, a netizen added.
One more Ghanaian wrote, “I even stopped gifting those street kids when I discovered that it’s a business in Senegal and other Sahel countries. They borrow these children to beg in other countries”.
