There was a mild drama at the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Owo local
government area of Ondo state this Tuesday, when the Chief Medical
Director(CMD) of the institution, Dr Abiodun Olufemi Omotosho went into
hiding to escape from being arrested by the officials of the Economic
and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) during their visit to the Centre.
DailyPost has gathered that it was the third time security operatives would have visited the FMC, but failed to arrest Omotosho.
EFCC had been trailing the FMC boss following an alleged mismanagement of funds meant for the purchase of CT scans and other medical equipment worth millions of naira.
It was gathered that, the security officials were acting on a petition written by some Medical Doctors of the hospital against the CMD led management team over alleged diversion of the money meant for the purchasing of the equipment.
Sources at FMC revealed that the anti-graft agency who went straight to the CMD’s Office did not meet him on seat but met his secretary who claimed the Director was in an important meeting.
It was gathered that the EFCC operatives became suspicious of the secretary’s claims and threatened to arrest her if she failed to tell the truth. Read more from the source
