EFCC arrests ex-NHIS boss, Usman Yusuf, for N4bn fraud
EFCC arrests ex-NHIS boss, Usman Yusuf, for N4bn fraud
Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have raided the Abuja home of a former Executive Secretary of the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), Prof. Usman Yusuf, picking him up.
It was learnt that the gun-wielding operatives arrested the professor of haematology-oncology and bone marrow transplantation in his house in the presence of his wife and children at about 4:46pm on Wednesday over a yet-to-be-revealed offence.
Sources familiar with the development confided in our correspondent that Yusuf was driven to an unknown location after he was picked up by the operatives.
Although details of his arrest were not disclosed by the operatives, sources said his arrest might not be unconnected with his activities when he held sway at NHIS.

“The reason for his arrest can’t be made public now because investigations are still ongoing. What I know is that he’s in custody and he will help the detectives in their investigations,” a highly-placed source told Daily Trust Wednesday night.
Yusuf was relieved of his appointment in 2019 by the former President Muhammadu Buhari seven months after he was recommended for dismissal by a fact-finding panel set up by the Federal Ministry of Health over alleged mismanagement of N919m.
When contacted, the spokesman of the EFCC, Dele Oyewale, said he would find out about the development and get back, but he was yet to get back as promised as of when this report was filed.

“My Pastor Is Having Sex With My Friend’s Wife” – Man Cries Out
“My Pastor Is Having Sex With My Friend’s Wife” – Man Cries Out
A Nigerian man has sparked online conversations after allegedly discovering that his pastor was involved in a sexual relationship with the wife of someone he considers a friend.
The disturbing claim was contained in a social media post shared by **SilentBeads on its official Facebook account on Monday, November 9, 2026**.
In the post, the man expressed concern over what he described as an alleged sexual relationship between his spiritual leader, a popular television preacher, and his friend’s wife.
According to the account, the woman had been married to the man’s friend for five years, making the allegation particularly troubling to the whistleblower.
Although details of how the alleged relationship was discovered were not provided, the man’s disclosure has drawn attention to questions of trust, marital commitment and the responsibilities of religious leaders.
### Allegation Raises Questions About Pastoral Conduct
The allegation has also renewed discussions about the expectations placed on religious leaders, particularly prominent preachers who command large followings and enjoy the confidence of their congregations.
For many worshippers, pastors are not merely religious teachers but also trusted spiritual advisers whose conduct is expected to reflect the values they preach.
However, the identities of the preacher, the woman, her husband and the man who raised the alarm have not been disclosed in the account available.
There has also been no independently verified evidence establishing the alleged relationship or any public response from the people reportedly involved.
The allegation therefore remains unverified, and the identities of those concerned should not be speculated upon.

‘What More Do Men Want?’ Nigerian Lady Questions Why She Is Still Single Despite Having Everything
‘What More Do Men Want?’ Nigerian Lady Questions Why She Is Still Single Despite Having Everything
A Nigerian woman has triggered an online debate after publicly questioning why she remains unmarried despite believing she possesses the qualities many men desire in a potential wife.
The woman, whose identity has not been established, reportedly raised the question in a social media post accompanied by her photograph.
“I have everything a man could want, but I’m still single. What am I doing wrong?” she reportedly wrote.
Her post, which has gained attention across social media platforms, has attracted mixed reactions, with some users offering relationship advice while others questioned her understanding of what men look for in a life partner.
The discussion, reportedly amplified by social media news aggregators, has since opened up conversations about relationships, marriage expectations and the challenges of finding compatible partners in today’s society.
While some commentators suggested that successful and financially independent women sometimes struggle to find partners who are comfortable with their achievements, others argued that financial stability and physical appearance alone do not guarantee a successful relationship.
Some users also pointed to character, communication, humility and compatibility as important factors that should not be overlooked when seeking a life partner.
Others, however, questioned whether unrealistic expectations and unwillingness to compromise could be contributing to the difficulties some singles encounter in their search for love.
The debate has also highlighted differing opinions about modern relationships, particularly the expectations men and women bring into marriage.
Although the woman’s post did not explain what she meant by having everything a man could want, her question has resonated with many singles who are still searching for suitable partners despite their personal achievements.
Ultimately, finding a life partner goes beyond material possessions or physical attraction, as mutual understanding, shared values, emotional maturity and compatibility also play significant roles.
What do you think could be the reason behind her relationship status? Is it possible to have everything a potential partner desires and still struggle to find love?

‘Don’t Push My Mum to the Brink’ – Son of Second Wife Fires Back Amid Mama Ukehe Backlash
‘Don’t Push My Mum to the Brink’ – Son of Second Wife Fires Back Amid Mama Ukehe Backlash
A fresh twist has emerged in the ongoing Mama Ukehe family controversy in Enugu State as the son of the embattled second wife has appealed to Nigerians to stop attacking his mother, warning that they would face his anger if anything happened to her.
The young man, whose identity has not been established, made the appeal in a social media statement as public criticism of his mother continues to intensify following allegations of maltreatment levelled against her by her husband’s first wife, Mrs Gertrude Anulika Ngwu, popularly known as Mama Ukehe.
In the statement, he expressed displeasure over the volume of negative comments and attacks directed at his mother, insisting that she did not deserve the hostility.
“Nigerians, please stop attacking my mum. Is it not enough already? That woman does not deserve all this hate. Do you want her to die? If anything happens to my mum, you people won’t like it. Please, this is enough,” he said.
His intervention has added another dimension to the controversy, which has continued to attract widespread attention and emotional reactions across social media platforms.
The dispute became a major public talking point after a video showing Mama Ukehe’s emotional experience at her husband’s Ozo title-taking ceremony went viral, prompting many Nigerians to express sympathy for her.
Mama Ukehe reportedly has no biological children and had been married to her husband for several decades before he took a second wife, who has five children.
During an interview with BBC Igbo, the first wife narrated her alleged experiences within the marriage, claiming that she suffered insults and hostility after her husband married another woman.
She alleged that her co-wife rejected gifts she bought for her and described her as bad luck in the presence of the children.
The allegations generated widespread condemnation, with many Nigerians questioning the treatment allegedly meted out to the first wife despite the years she had spent in the marriage.
However, the second wife reportedly denied insulting Mama Ukehe over her childlessness, while her husband also challenged some of the claims made against the family.
Since the controversy erupted, Nigerians have reportedly organised visits, donations and celebrations in honour of Mama Ukehe, with many expressing solidarity with her.
But the latest statement from the second wife’s son has attracted further criticism, with some social media users accusing him and his family of failing to address the allegations that triggered the public outrage.
Others have condemned the intensity of the online attacks, arguing that criticism of the family’s alleged conduct should not translate into threats, harassment or wishing harm on anyone.
The unfolding controversy has continued to generate heated debate, with the latest intervention suggesting that tensions surrounding the family dispute are far from over.
