Africa Press-Nigeria:<\/p>\n

The All Progressives Congress, APC, on Saturday called for the probe of some Peoples Democratic Party leaders over their links to arrested fraudster Ramon Abbas popularly known as Hushpuppi.<\/p>\n

APC\u2019s Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Yekini Nabena said Atiku Abubakar, former PDP\u2019s Presidential candidate, Bukola Saraki; ex-Senate President and PDP National Leader, former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara; and ex-Kogi West Senator, Dino Melaye should be probed over their association with Hushpuppi.<\/p>\n

Nabena recalled that the PDP chieftains had met with the alleged fraudster in Dubai, prior to the 109 presidential elections.<\/p>\n

In a statement he signed, Nabena urged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC and the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) to investigate the connection between PDP chieftains and Hushpuppi.<\/p>\n

According to Nabena: \u201cReports of the criminal conspiracy linking the top echelon of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) with Ramon Olorunwa Abbas also known as \u201cRay Hushpuppi\u201d who was recently arrested along with associate(s) in Dubai, United Arab Emirates and extradited to the United States of America to face trial over cyber-enabled fraud and Business Email Compromise (BEC) schemes should be a matter of serious interest to relevant authorities in Nig<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cWe note that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has already declared the arraigned Instagram celebrity wanted over fraud allegations.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, the EFCC, the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) and other sister agencies must investigate money laundering reports linking some PDP leaders and financiers to the Dubai-based international criminal ring.<\/p>\n
