Controversy surrounding the ashtage ”SaveMayowa” campaign has drawn the attention of the Lagos State Police Command.

The attention of the Command became imperative as a popular blogger described it as a fraudulent scheme designed to fleece innocent members of the public.

The campaign, which has raised more than thirty-two million naira since it started, was embroiled in controversy, when a popular blogger asked Nigerians not to donate to the fund.

Following this development, Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni, directed full scale investigation into the campaign, and also directed Access Bank to freeze the account opened in the name of the patient, Mayowa Ahmed.

Founder of Lifestake foundation Aramide Kasumu and two members of the ailing Aramide Shukura Ahmed’s family, Iwaloye Seun and Zaneen Ahmed were earlier today invited to the command’s headquarter on a fact-finding mission.

Subsequently the command have placed a red alert on the access bank account opened in the name of Mayowa as it has been frozen while effort is ongoing to contact the managers of Gofundme online account so as to ensure funds raised through that platform is not fraudulently diverted.

Investigation will be extended to LUTH hospital Idi-Araba where the patient is currently undergoing treatment.

The command wishes to inform all the good spirited people who had donated generously to this course that it will ensure it does not return as a hoax and every outcome of the investigation shall be made open.

Apart from the police, the authorities of the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), Idi Araba, have also ordered investigation into the matter.

Chief Medical Director of LUTH, Professor Chris ‘Bode, said the report of a scam allegation involving the family of Ahmed Mayowa Sukurat, an ovarian cancer patient on admission at LUTH, would be investigated.
