1/1 A GANG is accused of fleecing Worcestershire’s hospitals of more than £322,000 – with the NHS already on its knees because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Solomon Adeyemi, Emmanuel Nbanga and his wife Remilekun Olusesi did not enter pleas to fraud, theft and money laundering against Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust when they appeared before magistrates in Worcester yesterday. The trust runs Worcestershire Royal Hospital in Worcester and the Alexandra Hospital in Redditch. The case involves the alleged theft of medical equipement and supplies. Ralph Robyns-Landricombe, prosecuting, said: “Mr Nbanga was in the employ of the NHS and is alleged to have been stealing theatre equipment from the hospital (the Alexandra) where he worked. As a result of this role he was then organising the procurement to purchase items back from a company established by him.”
