Mrs Abike Dabiri-Erewa, the Chairman of Nigerians in
Diaspora Commission, NiDCOM, has lamented the effect of cyber crime on the
image of Nigeria.
Abiri-Erewa lamented that cybercrime has dented the image of
Nigeria before the global scene.
She spoke while cautioning Nigerians against committing
crime and flaunting it like alleged cybercriminal, Ramon Abbas, popularly known
as Hushpuppi did on Instagram.
Speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, yesterday,
the 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.”
Hushpuppi and some of his associates were arrested in June
at their residences in Dubai by a combined team of Dubai police and operatives
of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI.
Reports have it that fraud committed by Hushpuppi and his
gang members amounted to 1.6 billion dirhams ($435,611,200).
