The Federation member said:
"Courtney Dike is based in America. When she was paid the outstanding 10 days worth
of allowances in the tune of seven thousand dollars, she turned it down. When we called her mother to confirm the delivery of the allowances, she declined it and insisted the opportunity to serve Nigeria was all the reward the family needed. Besides she said she was to young too earn that much."
