Hushpuppi: Fresh updates emerge as Abba Kyari reportedly answers query, awaits final decision

Meanwhile, Kyari had reportedly responded to the query issued him over his alleged roles in the $1.1m fraud perpetrated by an Instagram influencer, Abbas Ramon, popularly known as Hushpuppi.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had alleged that Hushpuppi contracted Kyari to detain a co-conspirator, Chibuzo Vincent, for threatening to expose the alleged $1.1m fraud committed against a Qatari businessman.

The United States agency also said Hushpuppi paid $20,600 into a bank account provided by Kyari. Acting on the FBI's claim, the PSC suspended Kyari and set up a Special Investigation Panel (SIP) to probe his alleged involvement in the fraud.
