Hushpuppi and
his gang were arrested in Dubai for defrauding 1.9 million people worldwide and
taking in N168 billion.
The chairman
of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, NiDCOM, Abike Dabiri-Erewa has said
the the crimes committed by Hushpuppi has dented Nigeria’s image.
He came to
limelight in 2017 and remained there due to his show off of a flamboyant
lifestyle. His social media pages are flooded with pictures of his exotic cars
and private jet lifestyle.
Reacting to
his arrest, Abike Dabiri-Erewa lamented that he had the effrontery to show off
despite his illegal activities.
NiDCOM boss
lamented “Committing crime and still having the audacity to show off like Ramon
Igbalode aka Hushpuppi. This is really denting our image as a people.
“But like I
always say, fraud does not represent who we are as Nigerians; hardworking,
dedication and commitment is what we, as a country are known for.”
This could be
part of why a Dubai company sidelined Nigerians from a job vacancy which
requires African application.
