EFCC Arrests Health Officials over E-yellow Fever Travel
Card Racketeering

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Benin Zonal
Office, on Tuesday May 14, 2019 arrested four officials of Port
Health Service of the Federal Ministry of Health, Benin City, the
Edo State capital over e-yellow fever travel card racketeering.

They were arrested in a sting operation, sequel to a petition in
which the petitioner alleged that her aged mother who was to travel
to Europe visited the Benin Office of Port Health Service to
procure the e-yellow fever travel card, but rather than lead her
through the proper procedure, she was convinced to pay N10,000 to
obtain the card instantly.

However, trouble began at the time of boarding her flight at the
Muritala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos, when it was
discovered that her e-yellow card did not have the Remita Retrieval
Receipt Reference Identity.

She was subsequently compelled to get a proper one at the
airport with the sum of N2000.

Based on the petition, the Benin Zonal Office of the EFCC sent
two operatives to Port Health Service office in Benin, who
pretended to have genuinely requested for e-yellow fever card.

Unaware that they were EFCC operatives, the Port Health Service
staff requested for N7000 as payment for each card. On payment of
the amount, the EFCC operatives were issued with the cards
instantly. The e-yellow fever travel card is officially N2000.

The illicit transaction made EFCC operatives swoop on Port
Health Service office on Tuesday morning arresting four of its
official.

The arrested officials will be arraigned in court as soon as
investigations are completed.
