The foundation, a non-profit organisation designed to improve the lives of poor Nigerians through various programmes and initiatives, however, did not disclose the specific amount of the medical bills.
It revealed that Living Heart Limited is the recipient of the transaction.
According to the transaction date on the document posted by the foundation, the funds were transferred on Wednesday, the same day the comic actor solicited his fans’ prayers and financial assistance.
