The Lagos State Police command says it has investigated the controversy surrounding the funding and medical treatment of Mayowa Ahmed and has not been able to establish any case of fraud against Ahmed or members of her family.

The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Dolapo Badmos, said this in a statement on Friday.

It would be recalled that the victim’s family, supported by Nollywood actress, Toyin Aimakhu; and Miss Aramide Kasumu, the director of Lifestake Foundation, had launched an online appeal to raise funds for her cancer surgery in an Atlanta- based hospital in the United States.



The campaign was said to have raised over N80m and a separate $100,000 for her but Aimakhu later alleged on social media that the campaign was a scam.

The police spokesperson, however, described the controversy as a mere misunderstanding between the parties involved.

The statement read in part, “On July 28 the Ahmed family wanted to take Mayowa out of the hospital and Both Toyin and Aramide demanded to know the destination, this led to crisis between the family and the other party, with both Aramide and Toyin Aimakhu realising Mayowa does not have valid visa to United States of America

“The inability of both parties to communicate appropriately led to allegation and counter allegation, with the duo of Toyin and Aramide thinking the family have no intention of seeking medical help for Mayowa abroad and might likely divert the fund away from the purpose it’s meant for.

“The command having waded in had ensured that a genuine hospital in South Africa was contacted by the family.”

Badmos said the investigation which was carried out by the Police X Squad revealed that the victim indeed had Ovarian Cancer

She revealed that till date a total N81,278,954.81 had been deposited into Mayowa’s bank account while $100,000 is in the Gofundme internet account.

The police spokesperson said the police had unfrozen the account but would continue to monitor it closely.

She said, “The inability of both parties to communicate appropriately led to allegation and counter-allegation, with the duo of Toyin and Aramide thinking the family had no intention of seeking medical help for Mayowa abroad and might likely divert the fund away from the purpose it’s meant for.

“The command having waded in had ensured that a genuine hospital in South Africa was contacted by the family and she will be under the care of one Dr. Naicker.

“Flight arrangements are already concluded with mini air ambulance and medical certificate duly issued to enable her travel.

“The lien placed on the account has been lifted to enable Mayowa access fund for her medical treatment and for every other expenses to be made.”

Cool. Toyin Aimakhu and Linda Ikeji should bend their heads in shame...especially Linda, blogging that the Mayowa girl had planned with her family members to scam Nigerians. I don't know how Linda reached that kind of conclusion. I am still a fan of Linda's success story cos it motivates me, but that was really a bad move by her. How can a dying girl who is fighting for her life plan with her family to scam Nigerians?

I always had a deep feeling it wasnt a scam,jst misunderstanding bw the parties involved.Toyin should be appreciated as well cos it was her appeal to a large extent dat helped raise most of d fund needed.
I do wish her well.Its cancer.Even if she doesnt recover fully,some years will be added to her life.unlike in Nigeria where it is a death sentence..I remember a relative given at most 3 months to live in Nigeria.It got to a point she was jst occupying bed space at teaching hospital cos little or nothing was done.Family gathered money and sent her abroad for treatment and she remained with us 3 and1/2 years later b4 death succumbed,bt it was worth it...Wish dem d best!

It's obviously a case of poor communication management. I don't think Toyin should be castigated as been hateful, cos she spearheaded the campaign out of love
