‘#SaveMayowa was a Scam! Her Family Stole From Nigerians’ – LIB

Just days after Toyin Aimakhu massively pushed the #SaveMayowa campaign, which aimed to raise funds for the treatment of Ahmed Mayowa Shukurat, who was reportedly diagnosed with Stage IV Ovarian cancer, media reports are suggesting the campaign was a heartless scam organised and carried out by the family of the sick woman.


Mayowa’s story was first shared on social media by concerned friends who reported that she needed N32 million for cancer treatment abroad. With Aimaku’s intervention, the story reached Nigerians and they donated over N8 million in 24 hours. Today, the donations have surpassed the target N32million.

Toyin Aimakhu and Mayowa
Nigerian were celebrating the feat and slapping each other on the back, until now. According to Linda Ikeji’s Blog, the whole campaign was a scam.

She reports:
“This is such a sad thing for me to report this afternoon. Just two days after we were all happy that Nigerians kindly donated to cancer patient, Mayowa Ahmed, for surgery she needed for ovarian cancer, LIB just learnt that Mayowa and her family scammed kind hearted Nigerians. 
You see, Mayowa is really sick. She truly has Ovarian cancer. She’s admitted at LUTH but she didn’t need money for surgery, because doctors had told Mayowa she was beyond treatment and no hospital in the world could treat her as she was extremely far gone. Mayowa had reached stage 4 and doctors, unfortunately, already told her family she won’t survive it and had advised them to take her home. Her family instead used her situation to raise money from Nigerians. The doctors in LUTH have also denied giving her family a medical report advising her to seek treatment abroad.”
The blogger adds that Toyin Aimakhu has stormed the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) with police officers to arrest those who connived to defraud and deceive Nigerians. LIB says:
“Toyin Aimakhu, who was one of those who spearheaded the fundraising, as you read this, is at LUTH right now with police officers. Some people also went to the family’s home and the place is locked up. Will share video from the scene at LUTH, involving Toyin and one other donor later… 
#SaveMayowa raised over $100k on GoFundMe and millions of Naira.”
Also, Daddy Freeze reports that Aramide Kasumu of Life Stake Foundation wrote a letter to him, confirming that the whole campaign was a scam. You can follow the story here.

Aimakhu is yet to surface on social media to confirm or refute the raging claims of scam. We will return with more details.

Slavery: See How White Slave Traders Dehumanised Naked Black Slave Women

Image
Sexual assault of black female folks was paramount during the slave trade era as perpetrated by white people who degraded their Africans to assets rather than human beings.  Sexual assaults of female black slaves by white male plantation owners, their sons, brothers and other male acquaintances were heartlessly perpetrated unhindered in the 15th and 19th centuries before its abolition. Black women were technically degraded to objects for hard work and pleasure with no real value attached to their feelings. History recorded that black women were raped and dehumanized without fear of punishment. The reasons of their white owners couldn't be justified as they smelt of share hatred and xenophobia for their skin colour. Black men were also sexually abused by slaveholders, and sometimes, their wives were not spared from the ill-treatment as they worked tirelessly on farmlands with stipends that amounted to virtually nothing. The slave trade refers to the transatlantic tradi...
