Sowore, who was also present at the event, claimed that the donation was due to the CBN’s intentions to redesign the Naira notes.
The incident happened during the memorial service/evening of tributes for late human rights activist, Ariyo Dare-Atoye, on Saturday.
Melaye, at the event, made a pledge of N500, 000 annually to an education fund for the deceased’s children and paid the first donation with cash.
Making the pledge, Melaye said, “They told me that there is a plan for a foundation, education foundation for the children, I am so impressed about that and I am making a pledge that I will give an annual donation of N500, 000 for that foundation and I brought the first part of it, N500, 000.”
