*Gets remand order to enable him to serve six years in Kuje Prison

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has rearrested an alleged pension thief and former top civil servant, John Yusuf, and obtained a remand order to enable him to serve his six years imprisonment in Kuje prison as directed by the Court of Appeal in Abuja.

The EFCC had on March 21, 2018, secured a “re-conviction” of Yusuf for six years while the appellate court also ordered him to pay a fine of N22.9 billion.

But due to the verdict of Justice Talba of the FCT High Court, which gave him light sentence and set him free, Yusuf has been at large until he was rearrested in Gombe.
