Taking to Twitter to react to the arrest, Abike Dabiri, slammed Hushpuppi for committing a crime and having the audacity to show off on social media.
She also went further to state that fraud does not represent Nigerians. See what she wrote below;
“Committing a crime and still have the audacity to show off. Ramoni Igbalode aka Hushpuppi. This is really denting to our image as a people, but like I always say, fraud does not represent who we are as Nigerians. Hardworking. dedicated, committed.
Whether your name is Ramoni Igbalode Or Invictus Obi , Crime is a crime .The law must take its full course !! ITo those countries, another Nigerian arrested, is what they will say. We will always call out those who soil our image and celebrate the millions making us proud.”
