Governor Francis Nwifuru of Ebonyi State has ordered the arrest and prosecution of Ndukwe Ayansi and five others for allegedly stealing materials meant for the state Ministry of Health.

This was revealed on Sunday in a press statement signed by the Governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Monday Uzor, and shared with Channels Television.

According to Uzor, the governor was on his way to inspect ongoing projects when he saw a Toyota mini truck being loaded with registers, books, and other materials from the warehouse of the Ministry of Health. The warehouse is located at Ochudo Centenary City in Abakaliki, the state capital.

The governor stopped to ask questions but was not satisfied with the answers he got. After looking into the situation further, he discovered that patient data registers, cards, and other important documents were being packed into the vehicle.

He called the act sabotage against the government’s efforts to improve the health sector, explaining that the documents had been sold without proper approval.

“You are selling government documents without approval on a Saturday afternoon,” the governor said.

“Our hospitals in the rural areas are requesting for registers and data entry forms and hospital cards. Sadly, the ones the government has produced are being sold by you.”

The suspects have been arrested by the police, and investigations are ongoing.
