Association of Nigerian Theatre Arts
Practitioners, ANTP, are allegedly at loggerheads over N600,000
donation made by an Ogun State based businessman to ailing actor, Kayode
Odumosu, aka Pa Kasumu.
Report gathered that the war started
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 has 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.
