“Hameedah reportedly told her dad then, that she had borrowed the money to stake in online sport betting apps and that she lost all the money.
“Recently again, it was discovered that Late Hameedah could not account for a sum of money said to be over N400,000 kept in her care by her mother.
Hameedah had said that she loaned out the money to a friend whose mother is being treated for cancer at the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital, Ile-Ife, Osun state.
“Upon the assertion, her family were said to have asked Hameedah for the identity of the borrower, a request to which she replied that she had lost contact with the borrower who had since disappeared into thin air.
“On Sunday, her siblings were said to have asked her to produce the transaction receipt by which she used to transfer money to the borrower, a request she hadn’t conveniently responded to until the time of her death.”
