The homeless' representative, Sagire Yusuf disclosed to Vanguard News that his kin didn't dismiss the government's proposal to take them off the streets. He however did say that their freedom was restricted at the facility.  

“My people are complaining that their freedom is restricted. Why some people have not gone is because they are blind and they need assistance before they can go there. But, they promised to go there tomorrow.

“As for those people you saw at Mokola, that’s where they live. People know them there. That’s where they get money. That doesn’t mean they don’t want to go. The state government has done well for us by providing necessary facilities,” he said.
