A Nigerian husband and wife who both worked for the NHS have been convicted over their involvement in a £279,000 fraud scheme in which stolen medical supplies were allegedly sold back to the same NHS hospital trust from which they had been taken.
A former NHS employee has been found guilty of conning the NHS out of £279,000 by selling its own equipment back to the service - sometimes more than once.
Emmanuel Nbanga, 45, from Solihull, took medical equipment from the Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust and then sold it back to the trust, the NHS Counter Fraud Authority (NHSCFA) said.
Nbanga, of Skye Close, Smith's Wood, was found guilty of fraud by abuse of position and fraudulent trading on Tuesday, following a trial at Worcester Crown Court. Two accomplices were also convicted by the jury.
Dave Horsley, from the NHSCFA, said the case was shocking "especially since the stock... was intended for operations on patients".
Solomon Adeyemi, 57, of Cole Hall Lane, Birmingham, was convicted of fraudulent trading.
Remilekun Olusesi, 40, of Skye Close, Smith's Wood, Solihull, was found guilty of money laundering through the acquisition, retention, use or control of criminal property.
The NHSCFA said Nbanga had been employed as a materials management assistant at the Alexandra Hospital, Redditch.
Fake shell company
Between October 2016 and September 2019, he stole medical supplies from operating theatre stock rooms at the hospital and passed it onto Adeyemi, who was the director of a company called Ultimate Medical (UK) Ltd (UML), based in Tyseley, Birmingham.
The company then sold the items back to the hospital trust, so it was effectively buying back its own stock, sometimes three or four times.
Horsley said the trust became suspicious when it started a tendering process for medical supplies and discovered UML was selling at unusually low prices.
The trust then noticed identification numbers on some delivered items matched those of items that had been previously ordered and delivered..
An investigation found that funds paid by the trust into UML's business account were redirected to Lawyis Medical UK Ltd, a shell company set up by Olusesi, and to person

Go continue the circle your weak dad left.
@restedonme@WIZEINTHEBEAT@razorblade300 Not being there for the birth of my child means I’m not showing up? So the day my child is born is more important than the other days I’ll be present? You are so stupid I think your brain needs to be washed with bleach.
