Despite all the huge amount raised for her treatment ,cancer
patient , Mayowa Ahmed have announced the death of their sister who had been
flown to South Africa for treatment.A family member, Asiwaju Foye, in a series of tweets around 1.23
pm on Sunday afternoon said Mayowa passed away in the early hours of Sunday.
He tweeted, “By Allah, in whose hands our lives is, Mayowa Ahmed
has left us in this world. We pray that Jannat becomes her home #RipMayowa. She
tried, we tried but God’s will prevailed #RipMayowa”
Mayowa , a stage IV cancer patient, 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 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 after investigating allegations levied by both
parties, however, described the controversy as a mere misunderstanding between
the parties involved.
The police also lifted the ban on the gofundme account where the
funds had been frozen.
Consequently, Mayowa was flown to South Africa for treatment on
the 10th of August.
It came to many as a surprise therefore when her death
was formally announced this afternoon
