The family of sick
ovarian cancer patient, Mayowa Ahmed have announced the death of their sister
who had been flown to South Africa for treatment.
Media
report continues:
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.
Foye,
however, did not disclose whether the unfortunate incident occurred in Nigeria
or in South Africa,
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”
Our
correspondent who had placed calls and sent text messages to Mayowa’s brother,
Ibrahim Ahmed telephone line, could not get any response to confirm the news
which broke on social media.
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 ₦80m and a separate US$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.
