Officers of the Nigerian police force and the Civil defence corps have besieged the building of the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) in Abuja following intelligence reports of a protest being planned by the Suspended Executive secretary of the NHIS, Yusuf Usman.

PoliticsNGR learnt that Usman allegedly planned to resume duties forcefully on Monday using a rented crowd to protest his removal. Policemen and civil defence officers wielding guns were positioned at strategic entry points to the building. All staff were subjected to full body/security search.

The embattled Usman allegedly threatened to storm the office premises with loyalists with an aim to unseat the acting executive secretary who resumed today. Both Senior and junior staff were ready for a serious showdown had Usman and his crowd shown up as expected.

Usman's troubles started last week after he defied a direct suspension order slammed on him by the Minister of health, Prof. Isaac Adewole over his reported involvement in a N960 million fraud. Usman defended his actions by saying that only the president could remove him as stated in the NHIS act.

Nigeria is filled with ethnic politics.Yoruba vs Hausa/Fulani clash.This s why d Igboman does not believe in anything called Nigeria hence d agitation to be alone.

he took a book from PDP during the reelection, they hired people to protest that buhari should be disqualified because of his missing result, if not for people resolve they would ve won the argument

What do they even do there?


I don't know of anyone who has National Health Insurance and if it exists what does it cover and who is it for?

OH you mean masters and their slaves fight?

this country sha

laugh......

Still yet to reg for my NHIS

seems I am beginning to agree with the IPOB ....

This country is a joke! Anyone who hasn't been following this story would think Usman is guilty of the offence levelled against him. Who blew the whistle on the monumental fraud being perpetuated by health providers? Was it not Usman that exposed their fraudulent dealings? And in exposing them, the Minister of Health was also indicted. I don't blame them. It's Osinbajo I blame. Asking the same Prof Isaac who is hopelessly corrupt to investigate the same man that accused him is what I'm yet to fathom.

Usman enjoys a lot of goodwill at the NHIS. Anyone who thinks the workers could have resisted this protest is only living in grand delusions.

If anything, the both of them are corrupt and should go. The Professor included.

.....saying that 'only the president could remove him'. can you imagine this?

This is how accurate "Intel" can become a veritable tool of policing. Boko Haram and IPOB won't have become a major headache for the govt if we had a good "Intel" gathering infrastructure.

Na must say i go comment?

Make i the go.

somebody that is suppose to be in EFCC custody for interrogation by now, yet he has the gut to want to plan a protest.

who this news epp?? tortoise sperm fall on you op

But during Jonathan era when igbos hijacked and pocketed Jona and looted Nigeria blind, you people were not tribalistic abi?! Eeeediot!
You won't like me to remind you that you igbos introduced mistrust and the satanic tribalism by selfishly masterminding 1st bloody Nigerian coup ever during which no single igbo blood was shed. Yet, you want to always remind me of the bastard afonja till it sinks into my soul. Every genuine Yoruba is an Awoist not a bastard afonja.
Some intelligent NLander Yoruba guys and I were discussing igbo/Yoruba observed stuffs and we came to one conclusion that some igbos were applying 48 Laws Power rules to brainwash gullible Yorubas here. Last year, they started derogatorily calling and generalizing all Yorubas as Afonjas when we were known as Awoists since my earliest times on NairaLand. They know you soon take on the Character of the name you accept. Before this igbos started this nonsense, we on NL know purselves to be Awoists portraying the great Awolowo values. Just like the igbos planned and hoped, now some gullible easily brainwashed Yorubas go like "we Afonjas are the best" .... Afonja was the greatest Enemy of Yorubas while Awolowo brought innumerable great pace-setting Achievements to Yoruba Land and to Nigeria as a whole. Awolowo is Nigeria's Greatest Generallissimo whose millitary intelligence and strategy quickly ended long-fought Civil war. igbos fabricated and perpetuated a lie that Awo ate poison when it was medically confirmed that Awolowo died from cardiac issues, which must have resulted from restlessly patrotically carrying the burden of efforts to make Nigeria great. Even Great Britian said Awolowo is the best President Nigeria never had. Some brainwashed Yorubas may try to point out Awo's fault, forgetting that NO humanbeing can be perfect. Ojuckwu cowardly ran away, yet igbos celebrate him till date. If he was to be Yoruba, he would have been skinned alive when he returned. Infact, his family would have been made to forever bury their head in shame. If you have NEVER achieved 10% of what Awo achieved for Yorubas and you crucify Awo... Any igbo that calls we Yorubas afonja again instead of Awoists shall soon die a painful death!

It is not about what he did. It is about what he isn't doing whether purposely or unknowingly.

So even those ones that have been with Buhari for the past 40 years and brought him to politics are also wailers, Igbos and ignorant? LOL

All this fight against corruption by this APC government is scam.Why was Prof.Usman suspended? This is a man that exposed fraud of over N360Billion by HMO,he was in efcc and icpc seeking collaboration to stop this fraud.The man shown official documents where the Minister of Health requested funds from him and he declined.Instead of commendation he got suspension from osibanjo and minister.How can Ag.president will asked corrupt minister of health to investigate this issue.Haba!!!
