Hushpuppi: US Court Orders FBI To Arrest, Detain Abba Kyari

A United States’ Court has issued a warrant of arrest for a Deputy Police Commissioner, Abba Kyari.

Otis Wright of the States District Court for the Central District of California reportedly ordered the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to arrest and detain the DCP who was accused of having ties with embattled Instagram celebrity, Ramon Abbas, popularly known as Hushpuppi.

According to Peoples Gazette, the development was contained in a court document dated July 26.

Mr Hushpuppi Abbas was arrested in Dubai last June and he pleaded guilty to fraud in the U.S. this week.

The FBI said Messrs Abbas and Kyari have been friends and were both involved in a conspiracy to launder money.

Mr Kyari was also indicted of receiving bribes from Mr Abbas to arrest a member of the syndicate in Nigeria.

American prosecutors first sought a court warrant to arrest Mr Kyari on February 12, 2021, according to court documents seen by The Gazette. Another warrant was requested on April 29, 2021.

Judge Wright’s permission for the FBI to arrest Mr Kyari and hold him in U.S. custody was unsealed on July 26.

Mr Kyari in a hurried statement denied allegations of conspiracy with Hushpuppi, saying he only met him two years ago and did not benefit financially from the fraudster.
