The United States government has declared two Nigerian men, Ezechukwu Ohaka and Tayo Muyiwa Olukoya wanted over separate allegations involving Medicare fraud and drug-related offences.
According to the US Department of Homeland Security, DHS,
Ohaka is accused of submitting fraudulent claims worth more than $3.1 million
to Medicare alongside alleged co-conspirators.
“Ezechukwu Ohaka (57) is wanted for allegedly submitting
$3M+ in fraudulent Medicare claims and reaping $1M+ in illegal proceeds. He
reportedly targeted hurricane victims and paid kickbacks to recruit
beneficiaries.
“Through his Houston-based company, Luant & Odera, Inc.,
Ohaka and others allegedly billed for medically unnecessary power wheelchairs,
motorized scooters, and wheelchair accessories that were either not medically
necessary or were not provided,” the department said.
In a separate statement, the US Drug Enforcement
Administration, DEA, has also declared 57-year-old Tayo Muyiwa Olukoya, also
known as Uncle, wanted over alleged drug-related offences.
This was disclosed in a short statement issued by the agency
via its official X handle.
The statement reads “@DEACHICAGODiv is looking for Tayo
