BUSTED!!!Lagos State Detect Lies In The Claims Of Viral Oshodi Amputee, Withdraws 25million Donation

The Lagos State Government has detected something fishy about the story of the Lagos Amputee, Mary Daniel, who trended last week and was given a huge some of money.

Recall that the lady who was captured hawking water in spite of her “amputated” leg garnered the emphathy of Nigerians who donated the sum of N25 million on her behalf including getting the protection of the State Government.

She had said she lost her leg in an accident that killed her parents, she added that she has a baby and a grandmother she caters for and this made her drop out of school. Howbeit, the Lagos State Government started suspecting something fishy when they found her father alive on Thursday, the police later got to know she was amputated right from birth. It has also been reported that the people who staged up her story are threatening to expose her if they are not given a fair share of the money.

Commissioner of Police Hakeem Odumosu told The Nation the young woman was in the custody of officials of the Social Welfare and not the police as earlier reported.

He said,

“The police were there but she was not handed over to us. She was handed over to the Social Welfare. There were irregularities and lies in the account of her life she gave.
It was discovered that contrary to her claim that her parents died during an accident that left her amputated, it was discovered that her father is very much alive and that she was amputated from birth.
“It was also discovered that her presence in Oshodi was staged. Those working with her played on the intelligence of Nigerians to get donations for her”

“It came to light when the people started threatening her. She promised some N500,000 others different amounts and was planning to return to her home state when the information leaked.
I had to attach some policemen to her to prevent any attack on her when she went to the bank. We suspected those people might follow her but everything went well as they were not seen.
Presently, the state government is preventing her from accessing the money.
The government does not want a situation where it will become a trend for people to cook up stories, manipulate the people to get donations”.
