Pa Kasumu’s colleagues fight over N600k donation

As ailing actor, Kayode Odumosu, known as Pa
Kasumu battle to survive cancer, some of his
colleagues in the Association of Nigerian
Theatre Arts Practitioners, ANTP, are allegedly
at loggerheads over N600,000 donation made
by an Ogun State based businessman.
Movie Moments was reliably told that after a
certain businessman from Ogun State donated
a sum of N600,000 to save the ailing
Nollywood actor via some of his colleagues in
ANTP some weeks back, there have been an
unending chaos among the colleagues.
It was gathered that Pa kasumu’s colleagues
were at loggerheads over what amount was to
be given the ailing actor out of the sum as
others disagreed with the decision.
Furthermore, a group
of Nollywood
practitioners that
consists of production crew and veteran acts
under the name of ‘committee of friends’ were
said to have approached Pa Kasumu over
creating a new account in which donations
would be made but met a brick wall from the
Odumosus.
Currently, a total sum of N5.5million naira
have been donated to Pa Kasumu by the Lagos
State Government and Ogun State Government
as the ailing actor struggle to stay alive.
When contacted, members of the Odumosu
family refused to comment, affirm or deny the
tale and maintained that the most paramount
and important issue to the family remains
raising the remaining fund and saving the life
of the ailing actor.
