The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has called for the immediate prosecution of former Information and Culture minister, Lai Mohammed, over his alleged role in the reported N2.5 billion fraud involving National Broadcasting Commission, NBC.
The party also demanded the prosecution of the dismissed Executive Secretary of the National Health Insurance Scheme, NHIS, Prof. Usman Yusuf, over alleged misappropriation of N919 million.
The PDP, in a statement by its spokesman Kola Ologbondiyan, in Abuja on Tuesday, noted that “the duo must not be left off the hook because of their affinity with the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, and the Presidency.”
It insisted that Mohammed should be prosecuted alongside the Director General of the National Broadcasting Commission, NBC, Modibbo Kawu.
Kawu is facing trial over an alleged N2.5 billion Digital Switchover deal, which was investigated by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC.
