Aresident of Borno state has said the bribery allegation against Nigeria’s Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari by suspected fraudster, Ramon Olorunwa Abbas, alias Hushpuppi, didn't come to him as a surprise.


The resident in a private message to a Nigerian academic and media scholar, Farooq Kperogi claimed Kyari is currently building a mansion on Jemina Road, Damboa.


Claiming the gate of the house was made of glass and steel, he alleged that the police chief offered N70 million to a neighbor who has a house behind his mansion “so he can have his house out of the way to enable him have straight access to the main road from this mansion.”

"Good evening Prof. Just reading your post on the Abba Kyari saga. It didn't come to me as a surprise. Kyari is so super rich for the job he does. He is building a mansion on Jemina road of Damboa, that house is something else. It is the first gigantic double-gated house I'm seeing in Maiduguri, the gate is made of glass and steel.

"He wanted paying (sic) of a neighbour who has a house behind him 70 million naira so he can have his house out of the way to enable him have straight access to the main road from this mansion. And with a couple of people who have told stories implicating him, and them being shut up, it doesn't come as a surprise at all,” Kperogi quoted the Borno resident as saying.

The United States Attorney’s Office, Central District of California, had issued an arrest warrant against Kyari for his alleged links to Hushpuppi, who is standing trial for various offences that include internet fraud and money laundering, among others.

Hushpuppi has since pleaded guilty to the charges and, if convicted, risks a 20-year-jail term, three-year supervision upon completion of jail term and monetary restitution to the tune of $500,000 or more.

“The defendants allegedly faked the financing of a Qatari school by playing the roles of bank officials and creating a bogus website in a scheme that also bribed a foreign official to keep the elaborate pretense going after the victim was tipped off,” said Acting United States Attorney Tracy L. Wilkison.

“Mr. Abbas, who played a significant role in the scheme, funded his luxurious lifestyle by laundering illicit proceeds generated by con artists who use increasingly sophisticated means.

“In conjunction with our law enforcement partners, we will identify and prosecute perpetrators of business email compromise scams, which is a massive and growing international crime problem."

“Mr. Abbas, among the most high-profile money launderers in the world, has admitted to his significant role in perpetrating global BEC fraud, a scheme currently plaguing Americans,” said Kristi K. Johnson, the Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office.

The court documents also outlined a dispute among members of the Hushpuppi conspiracy, which allegedly prompted him to arrange to have an individual identified as ‘co-conspirator’ Kelly Chibuzo Vincent, jailed in Nigeria by DCP Kyari.

According to the affidavit, “Kyari is a highly decorated deputy commissioner of the Nigeria Police Force who is alleged to have arranged for Vincent to be arrested and jailed at Abbas’ behest, and then sent Abbas photographs of Vincent after his arrest.

“Kyari also allegedly sent Abbas bank account details for an account into which Abbas could deposit payment for Vincent’s arrest and imprisonment.”

The Inspector General of Police has ordered an internal review of the United States’ authorities’ allegations against Kyari.

Just thinking about it and loud. Having Abba Kyari out of the way is of great interest and importance to some interested parties. There is no denying of it, he was good in his job (no wonder he was always identified as Nigerian Jack bauer or super coup).

This will be reminiscent of the endsars and the after effect of it to the general security of the country. And saharareporter is carrying this on its end, they certainly appear like an interested party.

Every body is now singing.

Very soon they will release album.

Abba Kyari will soon start his own. He might even win Grammy.

Super Crook.

Everything hidden under the sun must come , he's good at digging out criminals , now is time for Nigerians to dig him out, till next week we go see even his side chick's and the size of eba ball size from Nigerian journalist

Ok

I don't know why Nigeria is not ready to grow ...well everything boys down to structure ....

If u begin to tax people the gap between north n south would become too obvious if not its easy to catch fraudulent people through tax

If you buy a property worth 100 million u should have at least paid 35 million in tax for the earnings if it's not so then u have to explain simple ...no more it's my wife property ..no your wife must have business that have paid 30% of that as tax if not u are going down

But north know the implications try this n in 5 years call for regional government and saparetion would reach sky high because south won't accept to fund unproductive LGAs in the north

Arewa Twitter has been silent on the matter. Please, check up on them.

Apc is party of corrupt and for corrupt people..
Their government is the worst in Africa.

Abba Kyari used to be their head saints..

Imagine the rest..

Abba Kyari from super cop to international fugitive in the blink of an eyes ...Who life can't humble doesn't exist

Abba Kyari is done for... Even if he is shielded by the govt he is helping to do their dirty jobs, he can neva set foot outside d shores of dis country anymore

[/s]you and mono.gamy that keeps running naked on front page to defend an alledged fraud accomplice are the ones with vested interest

FBI is not apc, pdp that is chasing him but an international crime agency which is partner to Nigeria police through Interpol and EFCC

Why doing overtime for him to escape fair justice if his hands are clean

The presidency don weak. If na Garba shehu for dey release press news every day

Monogamy and his partner in national destruction, thatfairguy1, will soon be here defending evil.

The two had never partnered with right before. They are always on the side of wrong. It doesn't matter how rotten that thing is, they will defend it provided it makes Buhari look like a saint.

The two don't know where to draw the lines between patriotism and tyranny.

Here we go
Here we come
There she goes

I really don't understand why Abba Kyari who is an honest fashion designer is being persecuted. All he did was to sew agbada for his friend hush puppy... I see absolutely nothing wrong with that.

What political position does Kyari hold?

What party is he a member of?

Fashion designer indeed.
Abba Kyari is not the only corrupt police officer in Nigeria. There are many like him who're UTTERLY CORRUPT both within the Nigeria police, Immigration, EFCC, and the military. They're nothing short of murderers.

Life is turn by turn. Crook kyari arrested Evans and we celebrated him, now FBI has issued a warrant of arrest on crook kyari. It reminds me of Anini sage and the cop that........ .

International Renown mediocrities defender !

International Renown mediocritic defender !

Is that all or do you have any other things to add?

Btw, chi chi is saying hi

Make Sahara Reporters give this guy breathing space naaa

Bloody thief, he calls himself super cop but goes about collecting bribes and soiling his hands with shady characters. After him, some of those people at Oba might have questions to answer.
Wisdom is the principle thing, in all you do, get wisdom.

No wonder they are after the media they knew that the media being a global village will expose their atrocities to the world

Here in the south, build such a house, they will come after you all in the name of Yahoo yet they live, breathe and build from the proceeds of yahoo

They act like saints whereas they are stinkingly very corrupt

Abba Kyari should be used as a scape goat to serve as a deterrent to other wicked and corrupt officers!

The man is a real crook.

Too bad most southerners want kyari down fall, even though he may be guilty.

This is what I have observed about all these kyari issue.


Arewa (Northerners) feeling so bad and embarrassed that one of their own special son is indicted. Arewas have been so cold

Southerners on the other hand are rejoicing for kyari downfall.

This is what happen when you fake UNITY and ONE nation in a country of many nations .

Happy one Nigeria.

Abeg all na story. Even if Kyari's own wife and children implicated him of wrongdoing, nothing will happen.

As one of those who shouted tirelessly for Pantami's dismissal, only to see Buhari wave us away dismissively and casually, I won't waste my effort this time on Kyari's fate.

The ruling government can do as it pleases never mind any damage done to Nigeria's reputation and standing.

Na to wait jejeli till 2023 when I can host a huge send off Party for this current regime in charge of Nigeria and wave bye bye to Pantami, Malami, Shehu Garba etal.

So they will barbecue him

By now SENATE WOULD HAVE HURRIEDLY SCREEN ABA KYARRI FOR AMBASSADORIAL APPOINTMENT TO NIGER REPUBLIC OR EGYPT

Abba kyari deserves to be killed

With these revelations, one begins to wonder how many people( both criminals and the innocent) this guy have arrested and possibly murdered extrajudicially at the behest of his 'friends' and associates.
Imagine if Hush have asked him to murder that Chibuzor,I am sure he would have carried it out and come out and tell the world that he has killed a notorious armed robber.

Rubbish.

He's a policeman who has been indicted for charges relating to corruption.

Simple.

Sh it hole is what it is indeed said to be.
You don't need any sophisticated investigation technique to catch corrupt people in Nigeria.
But either due to our all round incompetence in leadership or intellectual deficit,we fail to do the simple things:someone is building a multimillionaire structure,simply find out what that person does for a living.
If you are a civil servant building a ₦100million or even ₦20million structure in Nigeria while still in service with no other source of verifiable honest income;and you av not won any form of lottery,it doesn't even take a secondary school education to know the person is into receiving bribes,stealing or other more serious crime.
But here a police officer on an annual gross salary of ₦2m-₦2.5million or some rank and file on eless than ₦1million has multiple houses,builds mansions and everyone praises him and no questions are asked,talkless of arrest being made.
