For alleged diversion of materials intended for the Ebonyi State Ministry of Health, Governor Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru has directed the arrest and prosecution of Mr. Ndukwe Ayansi and five others.

The Governor had during a project inspection, noticed a Toyota Dyana truck loading registers, books, and other materials from the ministry’s warehouse.

“You are selling government documents without approval on a Saturday afternoon,” the Governor remarked.

“Our rural hospitals are requesting registers, data entry forms, and hospital cards. Unfortunately, the materials produced by the government are being sold illegally. This is pure sabotage of our efforts in the health sector and will not be tolerated.”

The suspects have been handed over to the police for further investigation.
