Hushpuppi: Dino Melaye denies involvement in $31m money laundering
By Rasaq Adebayo
Former Kogi West lawmaker, Senator Dino Melaye, has denied viral reports that confessed international fraudster, Ramon Abbas, popularly known as Hushpuppi laundered $31 million for him.
Melaye, in a video posted on his Facebook account on Monday night, said those behind the rumours are his detractors.
While urging members of the public to disregard the rumour, the former lawmaker mockingly said he wouldn’t mind if those behind the rumours can give him one million dollars out of the alleged $31 million.
The rumours come after embattled super cop, Abba Kyari was indicted by the FBI over his alleged involvement with Hushpuppi.
Some old pictures of Melaye with Hushpuppi also re-emerged online, fuelling rumours that he also has a relationship with the fraudster.
In the video clip, Melaye described those responsible for the rumour as ‘awon oloshi’.
