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.
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.
Using these fictitious email addresses, the fraud team sent emails to Fairview Health staff, deceiving them into supplying login information. In addition to the wire fraud allegations, Shodiya is charged with aggravated identity theft for pretending to be Fairview executives.
