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.
