Mobile telecommunications company, MTN, has paid for
the N500,000 needed for treatment of the one-year-old baby Taiwo Lawal, who was
shot by armed robbers in the Gbagada area of Lagos on Sunday.
The company’s Public Relations
Manager, Mr. Funsho Aina, made this known in a statement on Thursday in Lagos.
He said the company had
paid the money into the account of the baby’s family member.
“We have paid the needed
N500, 000 into the family’s account today in response to the PUNCH Metro’s
