Tot diagnosed with brain tumor dies after mum absconded with N3m surgery donation
A three-year-old child suffering brain tumor has been reported dead on Tuesday after her mother allegedly absconded with N3m donated by a well-meaning individual for her surgery.
The National Coordinator of Global Initiative for Peace, Love and Care (GIPLC), Nuhu Fulani kwajafa narrated the painful experience on social media.
Kwakafa, son of a former NDLEA boss, who broke the news on Facebook, said ‘Ada’ the toddler was suffering from a brain tumor and needed to undergo surgery.
A donor was said to have paid the money into the account number of the child’s mother because he has trust issue with NGOs.
He wrote;
“Last month we had a case of a 3yr old girl with a brain tumor who needed N3m for surgery. A donor insisted on paying the money to the account of the mother, stating that he’s not comfortable with NGOs,” he wrote.
“We initially wanted him to pay directly to the hospital, but that was not possible because 80% of medical materials needed for the surgery has to be bought outside the hospital. Eventually the donor credited the mother’s account, and the mother absconded with the N3m. Sadly, the child died this morning. Rest In Peace Ada.”
