Some protesters stormed the U.S. embassy in Abuja on Monday, July 6, demanding the arrest of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Timi Frank, Dino Melaye and other members of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), and an investigation into their link to the suspected Nigerian fraudster, Raymond Abbas Igbalode a.k.a Hushpuppi, arrested.
The demonstrators said they were members of the Concerned Citizens Forum (CCF) with banners reading “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.”
They also submitted a letter to the U.S. Ambassador and the Federal Investigation Bureau demanding a probe of the political allies of Hushpuppi in the PDP. They insisted that Hushpuppi might not be unconnected to Atiku Abubakar’s frequent trips to Dubai prior to presidential elections in 2019.
According to them, some PDP memebers might have helped Hushpuppi launder proceeds of crime.
