DCP Abba Kyari and Hushpuppi Case
During an investigation and arrest of prominent Nigerian Instagram personality Ramon Olorunwa Abbas, commonly known as Hushpuppi, for money laundering, the US revealed that Hushpuppi had bribed then-DCP Kyari for 1.1 million dollars to help jail a fellow fraud gang member.
Despite his protestations, US court documents demonstrate that he was a co-conspirator in Mr. Ramon Abbas’ crimes and that he visited Mr. Abbas in Dubai, where Mr. Abbas swore his undying loyalty to him.
According to court officials, during his interrogation, the Instagram celebrity admitted to paying the DCP money to arrest and jail “one of his rivals in Nigeria after a fight over a $1.1 million scam on Qatari merchants.”
Kyari responded on Thursday morning by declaring that he never asked Hushpuppi for money and that “my hands are clean.”
Despite confessing to being aware of the money-related argument, Vincent was arrested as a result of the call, according to the DCP.
