So a few hours ago, LIB reported that
people involved in raising money for cancer patient, Mayowa Ahmed,
reached out to us to say that they discovered that the whole fundraising
for the sick lady was a scam. I’ve been in touch with quite a few
people, and they insist the family knew Mayowa was beyond help but still
went ahead to raise money for her. Mayowa’s family have released a
statement insisting it’s no scam and that they are truly taking her
abroad for medical treatment. (Now, it’s supposedly tomorrow).
In their new statement this afternoon, they said they are taking her
to a hospital in Abu Dhabi but when they started raising money for her,
they said they wanted to take her to Emory hospital, Atlanta, who had
given them a quote of $100k. You will find the letter from Emory
Hospital after the cut. (Above are photos of Toyin Aimakhu crying at the
station)
Mayowa’s family did indeed contact Emory Hospital, Atlanta to make
inquiries and they were told that they would make an initial deposit of
$100k after which it would cost them between $3,000-$30,000 per session,
and a patient requires between 10-50 treatments.
More after the cut............................
But as of today, there’s no letter from Emory
Hospital inviting her over. Mayowa does not have a US Visa and the
cancer has even spread to her liver.
Some of Mayowa’s family members are being detained at Area D in
Mushin while they investigate the allegations. The person I feel most
sorry for in all this is Mayowa herself. She doesn’t deserve all this on
top of fighting for her life. Sad!
This is a statement from the family…
