The health condition of top Nigerian actor, Kayode Dosunmu, better known
as Pa Kasunmu, came into the public knowledge some weeks ago. Since the news
first broke, there have been stories and counter stories that the Lagos State
Government wanted to come to his rescue by providing the reported N12million
medical surgery fee.
First Weekly was however, reliably informed that contrary to what
the actor’s family has been feeding the public with, he needs far less than
N12million for the treatment.
A source divulged to us that Pa Kasunmu’s case isn’t as bad as it was
painted in the media. The source disclosed that the veteran actor does not need
the amount quoted in the media for any surgery, but needs far less than that.
It was learnt that his case doesn’t need any medical surgery abroad, but
just treatments in a standard hospital in Nigeria. These claims came up after
the Lagos State government went deep to know the truth of the matter before
redeeming its reported pledge to help the actor.
The source also wondered why Pa Kasunmu’s family would still be
soliciting for funds when they’ve already had enough to cater for him.
“How did the family come about this N12milion when he does not need any
surgery?” The source asked. The source declared that the actor has had “more
than what he wants (for the treatment)” and asked “why is the family still
begging for more money?”
The insider blamed the actor’s family for being selfish and turning Pa
Kasunmu to a beggar all because of his condition.
Reacting, the actor
Reacting
to the story, a representative of the actor, Mrs Olajide, who claimed to be the
co-ordinator of the ‘Save Pa Kasunmu Campaign,’ told First Weekly that nobody
ever said the actor needed a surgery abroad. She disclosed that Pa Kasunmu was
only advised to seek better medical treatment abroad by some people.
On
the N12 million requested for the veteran actor’s treatment, Mrs Olajide
explained that the treatment is long
term and that it would come in different stages. She noted that part of the
money will cater for relocating Pa Kasunmu from his present residence to a
better one.
“You
need to see where he’s living right now. Some suggested we get him a better
accommodation. They said his present house may have caused part of his illness.
It won’t be right for us to come out again and start asking for money after his
treatment. Nobody is trying to deceive or dupe members of the public. Just take
your time to come and visit him at
home
for you to see what I mean,” she said.
