$2.2Million Fraud: Court Continues Trial Of Former Nigerian Insurance Scheme, NHIS Executive SecretaryA Federal High Court sitting in Lagos State on Monday held the trial of the former Executive Secretary of the National Health Insurance Scheme , Oluwafemi Thomas, and adjourned till May 15th and 16th.
However, they pleaded not guilty to the charge and were granted bail; but the case was re-assigned to Justice Ayokunle Faji, after Saidu was transferred from the Lagos division of the High Court. During the Monday proceedings, the prosecutor expressed dissatisfaction with the situation, adding that he had come in from Abuja last week hoping to take the case, but he however accepted an adjournment.
Recall that the charge against the defendants has been amended several times with the defendants taking fresh pleas on each amendment. An appeal against the ruling of the trial court also failed at the appellate court which delivered judgment on September 30, 2021, and the defence was thus asked to open its case, which is currently ongoing.
