Hushpuppi’s arrest: What Presidency has to say
Chairman, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), Abike Dabiri-Erewa has reacted to details of Raymond Abass known as Hushpuppi’s arrest.
Hushpuppi and his gang allegedly defrauded over 1.9 million victims, using fake email to people and diverting payments to their account.
Dubai Police Force say the suspects are part of a ring that has executed a series of frauds summing up to $435.6 million.
Reacting to the issue, Dabiri-Erewa, stated on Thursday night via the micro blogging site, Twitter, that the case was destroying Nigerians’ image.
Her tweets read: “Committing crime and still having the audacity to show off”.
“Ramoni Igbalode aka Hushpuppi. This is really denting to our image as a people, but like I always say, fraud does not represent who we are as Nigerians. Hardworking . dedicated, committed.
“Whether your name is Ramoni Igbalode Or Invictus Obi, Crime is crime. The law must take its full course!! To those countries, another Nigerian arrested, is what they will say.”
Dabiri-Erewa also said that those who destroy Nigeria’s image will be called out and “the millions making us proud” celebrated.
The SSA to President Muhammadu Buhari, however, maintained that fraud does not reflect the citizens.
