The Nigerian Police has finally concluded its investigations
on claims that the #SaveMayowa campaign was a scam by the family of the sick
woman, Mayowa Ahmed, who suffers Stage IV ovarian cancer.
The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni,
confirmed the authenticity of the campaign, adding that the altercation started
after the family, Toyin Aimakhu and Aramide Kasumu of Life State Foundation
disagreed over how to dispense the money raised.
Oweseni has ordered the removal of the embargo placed on the
account. The family can now go ahead with the plans to fly Mayowa to Abu Dhabi
for treatment.
The report below:
“The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni, who
confirmed this today, said the command therefore had to remove the embargo
placed on the accounts, where the sum of N81million and 100,000 dollars, were
raised by public spirited Nigerians, home and abroad.
He said according to their findings, the controversy was
caused by misunderstandings over the modalities for dispensing and controlling
the money between the Ahmed family, the Nollywood actress, Toyin Aihmaku and
Life Stake Foundation.
He also added that the trio had raised the money with genuine
intent, adding that barring any unforeseen circumstance, Mayowa should be flown
out of the country for treatment.”
