Some Protesters on
Monday took to the US Embassy, Abuja, demanding an investigation into the link
between ex-Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, Timi Frank and some Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) chieftains with Raymond Abbas Igbalode, popularly known
as Hushpuppi.
The group, under the
aegis of Concerned Citizens Forum (CCF), seen in their numbers held placards
calling for the arrest of Atiku, Melaye and other PDP members linked to the
fraudster.
Some inscriptions
from the placards read: “Say No to fraud, Interpol act now”, Interpol act and
arrest Dino Melaye”, “Show me your friend and I will tell you who you are”,
“FBI should investigate Atiku Abubakar,” amongst others.
They also submitted
a letter to the US Ambassador and the Federal Bureau of Investigation calling
for a thorough probe of Hushpuppi’s political allies in the PDP.
This is coming after
the All Progressives Congress (APC) had alleged “criminal conspiracy linking
the top PDP members to Hushpuppi.
The protesters
submitted a letter signed by Comrade Adamu Kabir Matazu.
In the letter,
Matazu called on the US to investigate the connection between PDP high profile
Chieftains and Hushpuppi.
The group claimed
that ex-Vice President, Atiku Abubakar’s frequent trips to Dubai prior to 2019
presidential elections may not be unconnected to Hushpuppi.
They asked the US to
go after Atiku, Dino Melaye, Timi Frank and other PDP stalwarts who through
their associations with Hushpuppi may have helped to launder the proceeds of
crime.
Recall that Bukola
Saraki and Atiku over the weekend had denied any connection to Hushpuppi.
Atiku described the
allegations as mischievous and an attempt at political blackmail by the APC,
adding that the picture with Hushpuppi was not a meeting.
