stated that they have initial plan of taking Mayowa for treatment in Atlanta
Georgia, United State America for Medical Treatment and this plan was what they
communicated to both Aramide Kasumu and Toyin Aimakhu.
9. On the 28th of July
the Ahmed's Family wanted to take Aramide out of the hospital and Both Toyin
and Aramide demanded to know the destination, this led to crisis between the
family and the other party, with both Aramide and Toyin Aimakhu realizing
Mayowa does not have Valid Visa to United State of America
10. The inability of
both parties to communicate appropriately led to allegation and counter
allegation, with the duo of Toyin and Aramide thinking the family have no
intention of seeking medical help for MAYOWA abroad and might likely divert the
fund away from the purpose it's meant for.
11. The command having
waded in had ensured that a genuine hospital in South Africa was contacted by

13. The lien placed on
the account has been lifted to enable Mayowa access fund for her medical

Finally the command was
not able to establish any criminal case against both Miss Toyin Aimakhu, Miss
Aramide Kasumu neither do any of the Ahmed's family found culpable rather its
basically an issue of communication gap and misunderstanding.
The Lagos state police
command once again appreciate all "good samaritans" who had donated
generously towards this course and we are using this opportunity to thank the
members of the public for bearing with us throughout the period of the
painstaking investigation.
In futherance to this,
