Abba Kyari is the suspended commissioner of police who faces allegations by the FBI in regards to his relationship with notorious fraudster, Ramon Abbas, aka Hushpuppi. The disgraced commissioner has since has deleted a controversial Facebook post explaining said relationship with Hushpuppi. The post was edited twelve times before deletions. 

In the wake of these allegations, Mr Kyari's Facebook post appeared hasty, claiming the fraudster paid him N300,000 for the services of a tailor. 

The scandal reached a head when the Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI, had a court order issued for Mr. Kyari's arrest. The Nigerian Police Force have since set up a panel to probe his relationship with Hushpuppi.

As the controversy deepens and police began probe, Mr Kyari began the alteration of the Facebook version of his statement to further include another money-related case he handled involving Hushpuppi and removed the tailor connection bit.

The Facebook post read: “Nobody demanded or collected any money from Abbas Hushpuppi. He can be interviewed publicly in the presence of world media by the people holding him to confirm this,” he said in the oft-edited post before removal.

“He also called for another case in June 2020 and complained about a financial transaction with a second person whom he said his friend sent 8 million naira to and pleaded for his friends money to be recovered.

“He sent transaction slips and other evidences to prove their case against the person, all these can be verified from the Hushpuppi since he is still in custody.

“And it can be verified from person who collected the 8 million naira from Hushpuppi’s friend whom they complained about is alive and is in Nigeria.

“Generally what ever investigation steps/tactics that is being taken in most cases especially on the parties in this type of case from January to June is not for public consumption. This is the true story.”
