The Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI, has urged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, to help with the arrest of two Nigerian fugitives wanted over healthcare fraud in the United States, News360 Nigeria gathered.

Babatunde Shodiya and Yinka Jamiu were on September 25 indicted by a grand jury at the U.S. District Court of Minnesota over a scheme that saw healthcare providers lose $13 million between October 2020 and 2024.

“The U.S. officials have reached out to us and they said the suspects are hiding in the country. We have an obligation to honour the request of our U.S. counterparts as part of our longstanding collaboration to combat cross-border crimes.” an EFCC agent who spoke to Peoples Gazette under anonymity said.

According to U.S. Attorney Andrew Luger, Shodiya and Jamiu allegedly used falsified websites and email addresses to manipulate payment transfers on Optum Pay, a popular payment system among Minnesota’s healthcare providers under the guise of being owned by Fairview Health.

Using these fictitious email addresses, the fraud team sent emails to Fairview Health staff, deceiving them into supplying information.

They created a counterfeit website, fairviewhospitals.org, and pretended to be key hospital personnel, including the CEO, executive vice president, and a business analyst.

In addition to the wire fraud allegations, Shodiya is charged with aggravated identity theft for pretending to be Fairview executives.

Luger said, “As part of the scheme, Babatunde and Jamiu created a fake ‘spoofed’ internet domain designed to appear as though it was controlled by Fairview Health.”

“In total, Babatunde and Ahmed fraudulently directed more than $13m in payments intended for Fairview Health from Minnesota-based healthcare companies to s controlled by Babatunde, Ahmed, and their co-conspirators.”

In the event that they are arrested, they would be extradited to the U.S. and forfeit all assets linked to the profits of the crime to the American authorities.

Festus Keyamo Defends Tinubu From Drug Trafficking, Says Tinubu Mistakenly Shared Flats With Drug Lords

The Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Mr Festus Keyamo, has distanced the All Progressive Congress presidential candidata, Bola Tinubu, from being a drug baron who was involved in the traffic of narcotics in the United States.

Keyamo, who also doubles as APC Presidential Campaign spokesperson, noted that the former governor of Lagos State only shared a block of flat with drug barons about 30 years ago in the US.

His reaction is coming following documents of a Chicago District Court indicting and convicting Tinubu of drug dealings and money laundering in 1993.

The document which emerged online two days ago, described APC standard-bearer as a drug baron, adding that Tinubu entered a plea bargain, leading to the forfeiture of his assets to US authorities in 1993

It was also pointed out that Tinubu forfeited the sum of $460, 000 dollars in his bank at First Heritage Bank to the US government.

Speaking on Wednesday on Channels TV, Mr Keyamo dismissed such claims, insisting that Tinubu was linked to drug peddlers who were his neighbours.

He said: “What happened was that Tinubu went to open an . The address which he used in opening the was the address used by these people. I think some blocks of flats. Maybe, he was happy to be in that block of flats too.

“So, they now link it that the other people they were investigating for narcotics are in the same address used by Asiwaju to open that .’’

The international security services are ready for Nigerians. The focus isn't about fighting international crimes - it's about fighting international crimes involving Nigerians. There's been disproportionate targeting of Nigerian criminals since last year.
