The Economic
and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, had described Hushpuppi who is based in
Dubai as Nigeria’s most wanted hacker.
Abike
Dabiri-Erewa, the chairman of Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, NiDCOM, has
reacted to the allegation levelled against Ramoni Igbalode aka Hushpuppi.
“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.”
