A fierce confrontation is unfolding in Nigeria, as Prof. Usman Yusuf, the former Chief Executive of the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), boldly confronts the authority of President Bola Tinubu’s administration. Yusuf, a hematologist and bone marrow transplantation expert, has become a formidable opponent of the government with his vocal disapproval of its policies.

SURVEILLED AND TARGETED

Yusuf alleges that his family and he have been under constant monitoring by security operatives, who are determined to muzzle him. “I know it to be true that security agents have been physically and electronically tracking my family and I on the orders of this administration,” he revealed. Despite the intimidation, Yusuf remains resolute, vowing to continue speaking truth to power.

A QUEST FOR JUSTICE

Yusuf’s troubles began when he was arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on charges of alleged embezzlement. The EFCC accused him of unauthorized disbursement of N6.8 billion to himself and staff during his tenure as Chief Executive of the NHIS. Yusuf has maintained his innocence, pleading not guilty to all charges.

UNYIELDING IN THE FACE OF ADVERSITY

From the confines of Kuje Prison, where he is currently being detained, Yusuf has issued a statement titled “Abduction And Detention By The EFCC And Incarceration in Kuje Prison Will Never Silence Me”. In it, he expresses his appreciation to those who have stood by him and reiterates his commitment to fighting for justice. “My family and I are deeply touched and remain eternally grateful for the overwhelming support from people all across the country and abroad,” he said.

Yusuf’s bravery in the face of adversity has ignited a spark of hope in the hearts of many Nigerians, who see him as a champion of truth and accountability.
