Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission has sealed a hospital belonging to a former Commissioner for Health in the state over alleged theft of 533,000 dollars (about N163 million).

The Chairman of the commission, Mr Muhuyi Rimingado, made this known to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) by telephone on Thursday in Abuja.
Rimingado said that the health facility, New Age Diabetic Clinic, located at Dorayi Babba in Kano, belonged to Dr Abubakar Yusuf, the former commissioner for health allegedly involved in the scholarship scam.

He said the amount was part of 1.5 million dollars (about N458 million) meant for the payment of scholarship grants to 139 students sponsored by the previous government to study at Al-Mansuora International University, Egypt.

He explained that the commission’s attention was drawn to the development following complaints of non-payment of the allowances by the students.
The chairman said that the allowances covered the 2012 to 2014 tuition and accommodation fees of the students.

Rimingado said that the subsequent seizure of 200,000 dollars (about N61 million) by authorities at the Cairo International Airport from a Nigerian bound for Kano was also directly linked to the ex-commissioner.

The chairman said that the suspect had confessed his connection to the seized $200,000.

“Yusuf said the money was meant to finance a company they created but could not provide the source of the fund and the reason for the attempt to smuggle it into the country,’’ the chairman said.
“In the course of investigation, one of the directors at the Ministry of Health confirmed that he served the former commissioner with the money sourced from the consultant to the students’ scholarship scheme,” Rimingado added.

He said the consultant collected 1.5 million dollars from the Kano Government for the scholarship scheme, but how the fund was disbursed remained suspicious.

CORRUPTION MUST BE ELIMINATED.

Buy this space ..

One Sided or Not, Am generally Satisfied with the Support the anti Corruption war is getting from the North! Even if its Only the North and the West that Support the War, its okay for me.

I just dey wait jejely....I need BLOW WHISTLE OO....

Good One

Which one be this again?

SOME NIGERIANS THOUGH.........





THESE PEOPLE HAVE FINISHED THEIR FUTURE AND HAVE EVEN STRETCHED THEIR HANDS TO TOUCH THE FUTURE OF THE YOUTHS. GOD HELP US!



IYAMMI.....

the greed of man

Good that the property was seized. However, I hope this will not in any way affect patients or potential ones who urgently need special attention in such facilities like this. As the property is seized, it should be immediately handed over to professionals to continue the medical services. Who knows, some lives might be depending on the services offered by the hospital. My view!

when will EFCC seize OTA farm in Ogun state?
when will EFCC seize Atiku University in Yola.






Leave big thief and going after small one only is corruption

Efcc.. Where art thou?

this was posted yesterday ... nairaland mods are slacking

Just imagine, money meant to train students diverted to personal use! where is thunder and lightening when you need them?

My heart goes out to all affected students who are hoping for their allowances.

Chai, this misdeed triggered the age of scam by some Nigerian students studying abroad when the FG abandoned them to their fate on a foreign soil.

we are just religious in this country , we are not Godly one bit....so sad

Some disgruntled elements will still defend this yam eater.

The property should be converted to public hospital for the well being of the public.

Paid 2Post deceive yourself

convert it to a LG health center rather than destroy the walls with paint

.geez why r we so backward in Nigeria

IPOB, is this one also your son?

i thought Nigeria has grown pass the Era of using red paints to make such inscription on walls. Can't they simply use stickers or other better ways of telling people that a property is under investigation? if the accused is not guilty, i hope they'll come and repaint such walls and buildings. This is 21st Century, i hope we'll stop this archaic ways of doing things.

You used money meant for the good of many people to build a personal hospital

Idiotiic imbeciile

How politicians make money....and we praise them when they buy bag of rice and share to the community.

If only Nigerians will agree to drop tribal and religion sentiments. We will coup corruption gradually

Note: It may start with your father. So, don't be angry

No conscience
