APC Statement Linking Me To ‘Cyber Criminal’ Irresponsible – Saraki

Former Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki has described the statement of the All Progressive Congress (APC) linking him to the arrested Ramon Abbas also known as “Hushpuppi” as irresponsible.

Ramon Abbas, cyber criminal suspect was recently arrested in Dubai and extradited to the United States of America where he is to face trials.

Saraki in a statement issued in Abuja today July 4, 2020 stated that he has no form of association with the said suspect, Ramon Abbas otherwise known as Hushpuppi and neither does he know him in any way.

“The statement credited to the APC, the ruling party in our country, is one of the ways by which our anti-graft agencies are weakened and why the fight against corruption in the country is often viewed with suspicion by the international community.

“This is because when these cyber-crime suspects were operating freely and openly displaying wealth, the APC saw nothing bad in their activities. Also, the party at that time did not deem it necessary to call on the anti-graft agencies to their activities”, the statement reads.
