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.
