Hadiza, the wife of Nasir el-Rufai, governor of Kaduna, has
indulged in a lexical play that seemed to be a dig at Hushpuppi, a Nigerian
celebrity, who is currently detained in the United States on cyberfraud
allegations.
She took to her Twitter page on Friday to join other Muslims
across the world to mark this year’s Eid-el-Kabir celebration with a post which
appeared to have interspaced the figure “419” (fraud) with parts of Hushpuppi’s
name.
“Barka da Sallah. I’ve sent your Sallah meat by DHL.
Tracking Number: Hush419Pup,” the governor’s wife wrote in the tweet which has
now gained the attention of Nigerians.
Hushpuppi, whose real name is Raymond Igbalode, has been in
a legal tussle with the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) after his arrest
in Dubai and subsequent extradition to the US.

Last month, the self-acclaimed influencer was busted
alongside 11 associates after he was alleged to have committed crimes including
hacking, impersonation, scamming, banking fraud, and identity theft.
Following his expulsion to the US, he was arraigned and
detained at Chicago’s Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC), from where he
hired a lawyer in defense of himself.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) also shared footage of
Hushpuppi’s arrest in a special operation dubbed ‘Fox Hunt 2’ over cyber-fraud
involving 1.9 million victims to the tune of N168 billion.
