Early today, Linda Ikeji broke the news that the #SaveMayowa campaign, which had gone viral where kind hearted Nigerians were able to raise over $100k to her do operation for her ovarian cancer was a scam.
She shocked many people in the country when she reported that Mayowa's family scammed Nigerians as they still appealed for funds, when they did not need it for any surgery.
Mayowa's sister, Ahmed Marian has come out to debunk the news stating the Linda Ikeji's publication is false where she wrote on her social media handle stating:
"Please to the public this is so fake, no more GoFunds on behalf of Mayowa and whoever is behind this shame on you. Please disregard any information/s about her pls.
If you need any info please kindly get in touch with me please and will bring more info tonight again, whoever created this acct shame on you again and lastly to all our Pastors, Alfas and traditionalists and everyone please she needs our prayers more now please and I’m sure god wants to use Mayowa case to let us know we Nigerians love ourselves and we are the best country in the world.", she wrote on her page."
She also issued another statement where she mentioned:
"I don't know why Toyin Aimakhu and Linda Ikeji are saying we are scamming Nigerians. It's a lie! No doctor ever told us my sis cannot survive this they just told us to do something and take her out of the country. Nigerians we did not scam u ooo it's a lie oo. Linda Ikeji has never been in this story and now she's just cooking up everything to just...
"Right now my sis is in d room crying. I don't know what Linda wants from us. It is true. she has ovarian cancer. We sent the medical report we posted everything on line. At least we posted everything online.
"No doctor ever told us it's stage four. It's not until two weeks ago they told us she has ovarian cancer. So even if we know she's going to die we have to do something. Nobody even asked her to do the video she did it herself she's tired.. I don't know where Linda cooked d story" she told Pulse exclusively.
Due to the development that has erupted over the Linda Ikeji story, Nigerians are giving her different type of online jabs asking why she should publish such 'unprofessional' post.

Hello all,
We have been called by friends, family and everyone who has our contacts that our raising funds for Mayo is a scam. We were also informed that some persons had made statements concerning her state and her ability to pull through this ordeal.
As a family we wish to make these affirmative statements:
· mayowa is presently in LUTH receiving treatments that will prepare her for 7hr trip to Abu Dhabi. We have also engaged the services of the Flying Doctors to accompany her on the trip based on recommendation by the Doctors in LUTH (Form attached)
· mayowa is receiving treatment in LUTH to allow her be able to travel as advised by the Doctors in LUTH and she has been transfused to help improve her PCV
· The funds are solely for mayowa’ s treatment and for no other reason.
· We await her Visa for travel documents to commence the journey as we are in touch with the doctors abroad and they are awaiting her arrival.
We appreciate the contributions made by Nigerians on this journey. mayowa will live to tell this story and you shall be one of the audiences by His grace.
Please support us with prayers as you will surely be told the success story as we have not given up on mayowa living her life and we will never give up until the work God has started is finished.
Thank you once again and will provide updates on her treatment and procedures.
Signed
The Ahmed Family
