aharaReporters has received exclusive documents
revealing an investigation into Mohammed Lecky
during his tenure as the Executive Secretary and
Chief Executive Officer of the National Health
Insurance Scheme (NHIS). The Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission (EFCC) report titled: “Unauthorized
Investment of N10.7 Billion and Fraudulent Representation
to the Federal Executive Council for the Award of the
Contract to Novantus e-Health Systems Ltd by Dr.
Mohammed Lecky, Executive Secretary/CEO of the National
Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS)” was submitted to former
President Umaru Yar’adua on June 4th, 2007.
Mr. Lecky was appointed by President Buhari as National
Commissioner for INEC yesterday. In addition to Mr.
Lecky’s appointment, President Buhari also named
Mahmood Yakubu as the INEC Chairman.
The report obtained by SaharaReporters, and signed by the
former Executive Chairman of the EFCC Nuhu Ribadu,
revealed that Mr. Lecky “among other things, authorized the
investment of Government funds in three Commercial
banks that have no banking relationship with the Scheme to
the tune of Ten billion and seven hundred naira (N10.7
billion).” The report also details conflicts of interest between
Mr. Lecky and health company Novantus e-Health Nigeria
Ltd, which he awarded a contract to during his tenure as the
NHIS Executive Secretary.
The EFCC investigation established that Mr. Lecky placed
N10.7 billion from the NHIS into private accounts in Zenith,
Intercontinental, and Guaranty Trust banks. The
investigation found that the principal sum (N10.7 billion)
was returned to the NHIS but the accumulated interest off
this money is “stood at Sixty three million, seven hundred
and sixty three thousand, thirteen naira.”
The report findings also stated “no evidence was seen
suggesting that the board or the Minister of Health gave
approval for the placement of the funds in the various
banks. It was the sole decision of the Executive Secretary.”
It was also learned that Mr. Lecky awarded a company
belonging to him, his cousin, and close associates a
contract from the NHIS. The investigation said “Novantus
e-Health Nigeria Limited was incorporated on the 22nd of
July 2005 by a cousin of the ex-Executive Secretary [Mr.
Lecky] and his associates with a view to dubiously
transferring the contract which was recommended to be
awarded to Novantus e-Health USA.” The investigation also
noted that Novantus was not a legally formed company
until after the public bid disclosed in the Punch Newspaper
in 2005.
The conclusion stated “a case of misappropriation of public
funds cannot be established against [Mr. Lecky]” but that “a
case of abuse of office could be sustained against the
suspect on the basis of conflict of interest by influencing the
award of a contract to a company in which his cousin is the
director.”
SaharaReporters contacted President Buhari’s spokesman
Garba Shehu who told our correspondent that he did not
have information on President Buhari’s process of selecting
appointees. SaharaReporters exposed Dr. Anthony
Anwukah, who President Buhari nominated for a ministerial
post, last week for corrupt acts as the Vice Chancellor of
Imo State University.
