Why I Arrested Hushpuppi’s Associate Over $1m Fraud — Abba Kyari
Abba Kyari, a Deputy Commissioner of Police, has described his interaction with Ramon Abbas nicknamed Hushpuppi, an alleged international fraudster.
On Thursday, Kyari, a head of the Inspector-General of Police’s Intelligence Response Team, said on his verified Facebook page that Hushpuppi had called his office two years earlier and reported a death threat from someone.
The suspect, later named as Chibuzo Vincent, was detained but later freed after an inquiry revealed that “they are long-time friends who have money issues between them,” according to the cop.
Kyari further stated that Hushpuppi had not given him any money.
Hushpuppi used Kyari to arrest and jail a co-conspirator, Vincent, after the latter threatened to expose a $1 million fraud committed against a Qatari businessman, according to the US District Court for the Central District of California.
Hushpuppi, 37, pleaded guilty to crimes including money laundering, wire fraud, and felony, among others, in a plea bargain form that he personally signed. If convicted, he faces a sentence of 20 years in prison and other fines.

Hushpuppi reportedly colluded with five individuals, including Vincent, to deceive a businessperson (whose identity was suppressed) by posing as consultants and bankers who might help finance the development of a school in Qatar, according to the court’s indictment.
Hushpuppi collaborated with some of his criminal associates, including Kenyan Abdulrahman Juma, 28, and Nigerian Chibuzo Vincent, 40. Yusuf Anifowoshe, 26, Rukayat Fashola, 28, and Bolatito Agbabiaka, 34, are the others.
Hushpuppi, on the other hand, is said to have pursued Vincent when a team feud erupted and the latter threatened to disclose the scam to a Qatari billionaire.
“According to the affidavit, Kyari is a highly decorated deputy commissioner of the Nigeria Police Force who is alleged to have arranged for Vincent to be arrested and jailed at Abbas’ behest, and then sent Abbas photographs of Vincent after his arrest. Kyari also allegedly sent Abbas bank account details for an account into which Abbas could deposit payment for Vincent’s arrest and imprisonment,” the statement partly read.
Hushpuppi is known to have flaunted his luxury lifestyle in private jets with exotic wines and expensive wristwatches. His social media handles were replete with photos of his ostentatious lifestyle before his arrest last year June in Dubai after which he was extradited to the US where he is being prosecuted for money laundering and internet fraud-related charges.
