Hushpuppi: Abba Kyari Reacts, My Hands Are Clean

DCP Abba Kyari has reacted to an allegation he was bribed by Instagram celebrity, Ramon Olorunwa Abbas, a.k.a Hushpuppi, to arrest one of his (Hushpuppi) associates, Kelly Chibuzo Vincent.

Green White Green (GWG) had earlier reported that in court documents, Hushpuppi, who pleaded guilty to money laundering in the United States, recounted how he allegedly paid Kyari to help facilitate the arrest of a co-fraudster.

Federal authorities in the U.S. have been investigating Hushpuppi and his co-conspirators after their syndicate was busted in Dubai, New York and other top cities last June.

A press statement by the United States Department of State Service stated, “Court documents outline a dispute among members of the conspiracy, which allegedly prompted Vincent to contact the victim and claim that Abbas (Hushpuppi) and Juma were engaged in fraud.

“After this contact, Abbas allegedly arranged to have Vincent jailed in Nigeria by Abba Alhaji Kyari, 46, of Nigeria.

“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 (Hushpuppi) bank account details for an account into which Abbas could deposit payment for Vincent’s arrest and imprisonment”.

However, in his reaction, the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Abba Kyari said, “Nobody demanded any money from Abbas Hushpuppi and nobody collected any money from him,” he wrote.

“We responded to a distress call he (Hushpuppi) made on the threat to his family and released the Suspect when we discovered there was no life threat from the Suspect. This is the true story. Vincent is alive, he can be contacted.

“For those celebrating that this is an indictment on us and mentioning some fictitious big money, they will be disappointed again as our hands are clean and our record of service for 2 decades is open for everybody to see.”
