While Ohio taxpayers are being told to accept daycare fraud as merely “the cost of doing business,” a stunning new report has surfaced that raises serious questions about who has been operating inside the state’s taxpayer-funded welfare ecosystem and how far those connections now extend onto the global stage.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, RINO Ohio Governor Mike DeWine’s office has brushed off mounting concerns over potential large-scale fraud in taxpayer-funded daycare centers—particularly in Columbus, home to the second-largest Somali population in the United States—as merely “the cost of doing business,” even after two independent journalists uncovered disturbing evidence of potential ghost daycare operations in Columbus, Ohio.
Speaking to the Columbus Dispatch, DeWine spokesman Dan Tierney openly acknowledged that daycare fraud has been “known to the state for decades,” suggesting that outrage from taxpayers is simply the product of naivety.
“If people are out there who could not contemplate that people were trying to defraud the public through day care centers, I understand it’s new to them … but it’s been known to the state for decades,” Tierney said. “So therefore, we have robust anti-fraud measures to try and stop this, this is something that is unfortunately the cost of doing business.”
A new bombshell report now reveals that Somalia’s sitting ambassador to the United Nations once worked inside Ohio’s Medicaid bureaucracy, and later ran or represented a healthcare company reportedly placed on a federal fraud exclusion list.
Abukar Dahir Osman, often referred to by the nickname “Baale,” currently serves as Somalia’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, a post he has held since 2017.
As of this month, Osman holds one of the most powerful rotating positions in global diplomacy: President of the UN Security Council.
In that role, he:
Oversees Security Council meetings
Sets the Council’s agenda
Manages resolutions and presidential statements
Speaks for the A3+ bloc (African nations plus Caribbean representation) on issues like Afghanistan and Yemen
But before assuming global authority in New York, Osman spent years embedded inside Ohio’s public welfare system.
Osman relocated to the United States in the late 1980s and built his career in Ohio’s taxpayer-funded social services apparatus.
From 1999 to 2012, he worked at the Franklin County Department of Job and Family Services, serving as:
Case Manager
Social Program Specialist
Osman was also a supervisor for the Medicaid office in Franklin County, Ohio, from 2007 to 2012.
Mr. Osman also founded Beacon Educational Services, according to his profile on the UN. He served as a consultant for the organization from 2007 to 2010.
The most alarming revelation involves Progressive Health Care Services Inc., an Ohio-based home healthcare company linked to Osman.
According to reporting cited by PJ Media and Prime Business Africa:
Osman served as Managing Director of Progressive Health Care Services from 2014 to 2019
He was also listed as a statutory agent in 2018, after becoming Somalia’s UN ambassador in 2017 — raising serious conflict-of-interest concerns

Upon reviewing Progressive Health Care Services’ National Provider Identifier (NPI) public profile, Abukar Osman was listed as the President and CEO.

Even more troubling:
Based on research conducted by The Gateway Pundit and reports from social media, Progressive Health Care Services Inc. appears on the November 2025 Updated List of Excluded Individuals/Entities (LEIE) maintained by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (OIG).
The listing falls under Exclusion Code 1128(a)(1).
11-2025 Updated LEIE Database
Exclusion Code 1128(a)(1) refers to a mandatory exclusion from participation in all Federal health care programs (like Medicare and Medicaid) for individuals or entities convicted of a criminal offense related to fraud, theft, or financial misconduct in connection with providing or billing for health care items or services.
This means they can’t receive federal healthcare payments, and it’s a serious sanction imposed by the HHS Office of Inspector General (OIG).
What is even more shocking is that another healthcare company operates in the same suite (2852 BOUDINOT AVE, STE 202) under a different name, Evergreen Home Care, according to LibsofTiktok.
Omg wait till you hear this
Somalia’s Ambassador to the UN Abukar Dahir Osman was a healthcare administrator in Ohio. There is another healthcare company in the SAME SUITE as his with a different name, and multiple others at the same address, all with Somali names
