[VIDEO] Abba Kyari: Dino Melaye speaks on Hushpuppi laundering $31m for him

Dino Melaye, a senator who represented Kogi West in the 8th National Assembly, 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.

While mocking those spreading the rumours, Melaye added that he was in the United States of America for two months and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) said to be looking for him, didn’t make contact even once.
