The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has revealed how
Hushpuppi, the embattled Nigerian socialite, hosted Abba Kyari, a deputy
commissioner of police (DCP), at his residence in Dubai.
Hushpuppi had earlier alleged that he bribed Kyari to arrest
and jail one of his rivals in Nigeria after a dispute over a $1.1 million scam
on Qatari businesspeople.
The top detective, however, denied the allegation, claiming
that his “hands are clean” in the matter.
Kyari also alleged that he only offered to help Hushpuppi
after the socialite raised an alarm that Vincent Kelly Chibuzo, his
co-fraudster, allegedly threatened his family in Nigeria.
But an investigation by Andrew John Innocenti, a special
agent with the FBI, revealed the pair had a long-standing relationship.
According to the report, admitted as evidence at the US
district court in California, the DCP first met Hushpuppi in 2018 when he
visited him in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The document also revealed that during the visit, Hushpuppi
sent a car and his driver to pick up Kyari.
It added that their meeting led to several interactions
including the arrest of Chibuzo.
“Based on messages I reviewed, Abbas appears to have first
interacted with Kyari in September 2019, when Kyari traveled to the UAE,” the
report read.
“The conversation indicated that Abbas sent a car and driver
to drive Kyari during that trip. Soon thereafter, Kyari sent Abbas a video
slideshow which showed some personal photographs of Kyari, some of which
appeared to have been taken in the UAE.
“Later in September, after Kyari sent Abbas an article that
discussed him arresting alleged kidnappers, Abbas wrote, in part, to Kyari, ‘Am
really happy to be ur boy,’ and later, ‘I promise to be a good boy to u sir.”
The investigation also revealed that Hushpuppi and Kyari
discussed payment for the arrest of Chibuzo.
“Abbas further told Kyari that he wanted to pay money to
send Chibuzo to jail for a long time, stating ‘Please sir I want to spend money
to send this boy to jail, let him go for a very long time,” it added.
“Kyari responded, ‘Ok bro I understand I will discuss with
my team who arrested him . . . And handling the case We will do something about
it.’
“Abbas responded, ‘let me know how I can send money to the
team sir let them deal with him like an armed robber.”
It also quoted Kyari as replying to Hushpuppi: “OK I will
send their account details to you.”
The investigation said, “approximately six minutes later,
Kyari provided the account information for a bank account at a Nigerian bank,
Zenith Bank, in the name of a person other than KYARI himself.”
It added that Hushpuppi would later respond “Ok sir,
tomorrow by noon” — indicating that he would make the payment to Kyari’s team
by the next day.
Hushpuppi was arrested in the UAE in June 2020 alongside 11
of his associates over allegations bordering on hacking, impersonation,
scamming, banking fraud, and identity theft.
The embattled Instagram celebrity had recently pleaded
guilty to the money laundering charges against him, risking 20 years
imprisonment.

This Abba Kyari needs to go. In any normal country, he would be on suspension now pending investigations, which might probably lead to dismissal or indictment in court if found guilty. He seems to be hobnobbing with some questionable characters. The prompt response he gave to hushpuppie, would he give that to everyone?? Does every citizen have his personal number?? He is an embarrassment to the police force and the Government. It took the American Government to expose this. If the investigations were done here, this revelation would have been buried. Corruption will never cease in Nigeria, as long as people love money and worships anyone that has it.

This Abba Kyari revelation is just the beginning of more to come about high level corruption in Nigeria. Nigerians must continue to pray for God answers prayers and supplications. No matter how long a rope is, it must have an end. Kudos to the FBI for digging out this culprit that has established himself as a thin God. No one is greater than His Creator. Kyari is no exception. Others in his shoes should learn to be more careful in the discharge of their noble responsibilities. I cross my hands and patiently waiting for the outcome of this revelation. Nigerians and the world at large are waiting for the outcome.
