EFCC Arrests Ex-NHIS’ Boss, Usman Yusuf by dre11(m): 9:05pm On Jan 29
Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have raided the Abuja home of a former Executive Secretary of the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), Prof. Usman Yusuf, picking him up, Daily Trust can confirm.

It was learnt that the gun-wielding operatives arrested the professor of haematology-oncology and bone marrow transplantation in his house in the presence of his wife and children at about 4:46pm on Wednesday over a yet-to-be-revealed offence.

Sources familiar with the development confided in our correspondent that Yusuf was driven to an unknown location after he was picked up by the operatives.

Although details of his arrest were not disclosed by the operatives, sources said his arrest might not be unconnected with his activities when he held sway at NHIS.

“The reason for his arrest can’t be made public now because investigations are still ongoing. What I know is that he’s in custody and he will help the detectives in their investigations,” a highly-placed source told Daily Trust Wednesday night.

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 N919m.

When contacted, the spokesman of the EFCC, Dele Oyewale, said he would find out about the development and get back.but he was yet to get back as promised as of when this report was filed.

A corrupt man that was booted out of office by Buhari, since then, he has been insulting Buhari and Tinubu, stirring up tribal sentiments and fake news against the government. Buhari gave you the grace to go and enjoy your loot peacefully but you decided to turn into a parrot.

That man's public record with NHIS in the media ehn will leave you wondering how such sensitive agency had him as the administrative head. https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/338353-how-usman-yusuf-was-dismissed-as-nhis-executive-secretary.html?tztc=1
If you compare him to President Trump, you will nearly come to the conclusion that President Trump is a learner in administrative chaos.

They'll slap a humongous bail sum on him, then release him to return home from where the Judges who'll subsequently preside over his case will keep adjourning it until it eventually dies naturally.

It's the same rinse and repeat template we've consistently seen over the last decade. Nothing new to see here.

Who no dey embezzle money for apc givernment? Even the interior minister codedly chop and clean mouth. He quickly distanced himself after fowl yansh open finish, saying he had ceased to be the director of the said company who.got the contract under beta edu. Wait until tinubu leaves office. All.of them are thieves. Tinubu shouldn't spare anyone if he so serious but I doubt. If not for the public noise, he'd have reinstated beta edu.

Will you go and try it so we can confirm? Many of you don't know jack about this thing. That's why I will advise you not to try it. If you are still not convinced, go sleep one night detention in a police station or EFCC office to find out.
