The police in Lagos have arrested two lovers, Tunde Ogunseye and Funmiayo Oyelaja, for allegedly hacking into the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) account.
The couple stole N60 million from thee account and have been on the police’s wanted list. It was reported that the duo fled to Ghana after the act. According to the police, “Oyelaja took advantage of being a staff of Clearline International Limited, a Health Management Office (HMO) based in Lagos, to hack into the account.” Oyelaja in her reported confession said: “I worked with Clearline International Limited from 2014 to early 2019. What we do there is that we act as the middleman between the NHIS and hospitals. When the NHIS gives us money to pay hospitals, we would not spend all that was given to us and would not refund the excess to the NHIS purse. Ogunseye, in his statement, said he knew about the fraud but claimed he did not participate in it. Zubairu Muazu who is the Lagos state commissioner of police said the suspects will be charged to court.
