The lady who had kick-started the campaign back in May 2020 to ensure he returned to school said she had an encounter with him around March 2020 where she had gone to get ice cream.
In a Twitter post, the woman identified with the handle @Zaya__Armani stated that young Abdullateef had approached her with his primary 5 and 6 results to seek funds to start a sweets business.
She was reluctant at first but believed him eventually and offered him the sum of N2k.
True to his words, he started selling sweets with the money and this inspired her public appeal.
@Zaya__Armani appreciated Nigerians for their support as she showcased the former street beggar turned schoolboy in cute pictures.
She wrote:
"Y’all remember our very own Boy Abdullateef...yeah ... to all the people who send in prayers and donation ... I just wanna say JAZAKALLAH KHAIR.... God bless y’all."
Many gushed about his schoolboy look as they appreciated all who believed when the appeal was made and complied.
