Ahmed Mayowa Shukurat; Ovarian cancer patient passes on
Ahmed Mayowa Shukurat who was diagnosed with Stage IV Ovarian cancer is dead.
Mayowa’s family member, disclosed this via Twitter on Sunday, August 21, 2016.
Mayowa’s story went viral after she uploaded an Instagram video soliciting for funds from good spirited Nigerians.
Popular actress, Toyin Aimakun was among other notable Nigerians who called for the support of some wealthy Nigerians to make donations for Mayowa’s surgery.
Over N32 million was raised after which an online campaign #savemayowa was launched.
However, a mild drama ensued when popular blogger, Linda Ikeji posted a story saying the #savemayowa fund raising was a scam adding that her family members had absconded with the money.
But Pulse gathered that Mayowa’s family members were still in Nigeria.
