Summary
FUTA Teaching Hospital said it will pursue legal action against staff allegedly linked to a job-racketeering scheme targeting applicants for roles at the new hospital.
N200,000 to N600,000 was allegedly collected from job seekers, who were then given fake appointment letters issued in the name of UNIMED Teaching Hospital, Akure.
The hospital said some victims are already demanding refunds after realizing they would not be absorbed into the Federal Government establishment as promised.
Management said it will hand relevant information and materials to law-enforcement and anti-corruption agencies, widening the case beyond internal discipline.
