Former Kogi West
lawmaker, Dino Melaye, has reacted to calls for his probe, over alleged
association with fraudster, Hushpuppi.
Recall that the All
Progressives Congress, APC, over the weekend called for the probe of some Peoples
Democratic Party leaders over their alleged links to suspected fraudster,
Ramond Abbas popularly known as Hushpuppi.
APC’s Deputy
National Publicity Secretary, Yekini Nabena in a statement said Atiku Abubakar,
Bukola Saraki and former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu
Dogara; and ex-Kogi West Senator, Dino Melaye should be probed over their
association with Hushpuppi.
Reacting, Melaye on
to his official Twitter page said he would not glorify the ruling party, APC,
with a response over claims of his affiliation with Hushpuppi.
His post reads: “I
will not glorify a religiously lunatic character nor the caretaker party (APC)
with a response on Hushpuppy.”
Hushpuppi was
recently arrested in the United Arab Emirates and extradited to the United
States.
He and his friend
Olakekan Jacob popularly known as Woodberry are facing criminal charges for
conspiracy to launder hundreds of millions of dollars from business email
compromise (BEC) frauds and other scams.
Also, Bukola Saraki
and Atiku Abubakar have denied association with Hushpuppi.
Saraki warned the
APC leadership to compel Yekini Nabena to desist from making and circulating
such malicious, odious and offensive claims.
