Abike Dabiri-Erewa weighs in on Hushpuppi's matter

The Chairman of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, says not all Nigerians succeeding abroad are engaging in fraudulent activities.

Dabiri-Erewa was reacting to a fraud allegation levelled against Ramoni Igbalode, aka Ray Hushpuppi by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Reacting on Thursday via Twitter, 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.”
Also, the Commission wrote, “We await EFCC’s further and thorough investigation as well as further updates on the case. We advise and urge Nigerians abroad to be law-abiding citizens, be good ambassadors, and not tarnish the image of the country.”
The suspected fraudster was arrested on June 10, 2020 in the United Arab Emirates in connection with a $35m ventilator scam.
