Suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari has deleted his infamous Facebook update written in response to the allegations leveled against him by suspected internet fraudster, Ramon Abbas aka Hushpuppi.
Recall that in the post by Kyai, he disclosed that he was only rendering tailoring-related services to Hushpuppi.
Kyari had stated that he barely knew Hushpuppi and urged the public to disregard the allegations because they contained no substance.
In the now-deleted post, the suspended DCP said his only connection with Abbas was when the fraudster saw some traditional attires on his social media page and contacted him that he liked them.
After Peoples Gazette and other news mediums published the fraud indictment and warrant of arrest document for Kyari, he still went on to circulate a statement via WhatsApp, claiming the documents were fake but this time without the bit about the tailoring services he rendered to Hushpuppi.
Following police’s confirmation that the documents were genuinely from the U.S. authorities, Mr Kyari was suspended from the police and a panel was raised to probe his involvement in a cross-border scheme of wire fraud and money laundering.
In the early hours of August 4, the police officer initially edited the Facebook post to remove the N300,000 claim and admit that he received N8 million from Hushpuppi to hold a member of their syndicate, Chibuzo Vincent, in custody for a $1.1 million cybercrime to pull through.
