Hush Puppi AKA Ramos Abba is A crime lord who rolled about with such glitter that he made Obi Cubana pale in exhibitionism.
Until his real career came to light, he was what these days is generally called “an influencer,” a new category of folks who are really very busy doing nothing. They have made a virtue of modelling the crass consumerist lifestyle of this generation raised on fakery; incapable of language; whose attention span is as long as a very short and fragmented sentence.
These “influencers” sell illusions. And that was precisely what Ramonu Abbas sold, and made a killing with duping quite a handful of people, of their hard-earned life savings. Then last year, he was arrested in the United Arab Emirate -in Dubai, that city of illusions and of a Thousand Night dreams built for flexing on instagram for “influencers.”
When the local police raided his apartment in Dubai, they found about $41 million in cash, thirteen luxury cars which CNN reports are valued at $6.8 million, phones and computers containing evidence of his massive schemes and a database of his preys.
Hushpuppi was arrested alongside his wingman, Olalekan Ponle, handed to the FBI who had been on their trail, and they were flown to Los Angeles to face trial.
He is now charged with wire fraud, money laundering, and various other Email Business Compromise schemes, known in Nigeria as 419.
The story should have ended there with the netting of this Nigerian cybercrime kingpin, but a twist in evidence has now opened up a new angle to it.
This seems almost predictable and I’ll say why soon enough. But the trial led the FBI back to Nigeria, and to this “super cop” called Abba Kyari. It does seem like Hushpuppi sang like a bird as part of what might be a plea deal.
So, here we are: Abba Kyari is in trouble. As the story goes, according to grand jury indictment records already published, in the course of this scheme to defraud one of their victims, a Qatari businessman, a dispute, the cause of which is currently unspecified, arose between them which caused one of his co-conspirators, Kelly Chibuzor Vincent to change his mind, and try to alert the fraud victim.
Following this, Hushpuppi contacted DCP Kyari to arrest Chibuzo and teach him a lesson for contacting his victims. He wanted Kyari to arrange for Chibuzo to be given the beating of his life inside the jail.
DCP Kyari, the indicts say, did carry this out on behalf of Hushpuppi and was handsomely paid in return for carrying out his wishes through certain accounts already specified in the FBI investigations of his role.
Hushpuppi was clearly his man. Of course, since the news broke, Mr Abba Kyari has, not surprisingly, denied any involvement of a dubious kind with Ramonu “Hushpuppi” Abbas. Just that the said Hushpuppi liked the picture of his outfit, requested some to be made for him, and wired money into his account.
Yeah, right! As far as excuses go, this was the lamest, most laughable excuse ever given by a man whose hands have been caught in the cookie jar. But still, we must hope that DCP Abba Kyari is telling the truth.
That there is a mistake somewhere. That Ramonu Hushpuppi Abbas is just simply trying to bring down a hard-ass cop who has been known publicly to fight high crime and has even been publicly decorated by the President of Nigeria Buhari.
