A former Executive Secretary of the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), Professor Usman Yusuf, has been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The Head of Media and Publicity for the Commission, Dele Oyewale, confirmed this yesterday.
Professor Yusuf was arrested by the EFCC operatives, who raided his residence yesterday.
According to the Commission, he will be arraigned today, Thursday, January 30, 2025.
A petition was submitted to the immediate past presidency under former President Muhammadu Buhari and the Federal Ministry of Health, over misconduct and fraudulent practices.
Yusuf was relieved of his appointment in 2019 by the former President Muhammadu Buhari seven months after he was recommended for dismissal by a fact-finding panel set up by the Federal Ministry of Health over alleged mismanagement of N919 million.
