The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has re-arrested a former Assistant Director in the Federal Civil Service, John Yusuf, convicted for N32.8 billion pension fraud.

Yusuf had been on the run since the Court of Appeal, Abuja Division, sentenced him to six years imprisonment and imposed a fine of N22.9bn on him for conniving with five other suspects to steal N32.8bn police pension fund in 2018.

Ruling on the substantive matter, the Justices of the Court of Appeal held unanimously that the three counts involving Yusuf clearly stated the amounts he converted for his personal use.
