Abike Dabiri-Erewa, the chairman of Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, NiDCOM, has reacted to the allegation levelled against Ramoni Igbalode aka Hushpuppi.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, had described Hushpuppi who is based in Dubai as Nigeria’s most wanted hacker.
“Nigeria’s most-wanted hacker, Ramoni Igbalode, alias Ray hushpuppi, recently arrested by the International Police and the FBI, has considerable cases of cybercrimes being investigated by the EFCC.
“The commission is engaging with the FBI in tracing victims of his fraudulent transactions and other fraudsters having direct involvement with him. Local cybercriminals with money laundering networks with him are also being investigated,” EFCC said in a statement.
In reaction, Abike Dabiri-Erewa stated that his situation should not be used to judge other Nigerians abroad.
The NiDCOM boss wrote, “Allegations against Ramoni Igbalode aka Hushpuppi running into millions in fraud. I stress again, not a yardstick to judge Nigerians excelling abroad. One bad apple should indeed not spoil the whole bunch.”
