Based on messages I reviewed, ABBAS appears to have first interacted with KYARI in September 2019, when KYARI traveled to the U.A.E. The conversation indicated that ABBAS sent a car and driver to drive KYARI during that trip. Soon thereafter, KYARI sent ABBAS a video slideshow which showed some personal photographs of KYARI, some of which appeared to have been taken in the U.A.E.

The romance between internet fraudster, Hushpuppi (Ramon Olorunwa Abbas) and Nigeria’s widely acclaimed Super Cop, DCP Abba Kyari, was sealed in the United Arab Emirates, UAE, where Hushpuppi prior to his arrest once called home.

Hushpuppi lived like a lord in Dubai and according to Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI, papers filed at the United States District Court for the Central District of California, both have been having communications but physical contact was established in September 2019 when Abba Kyari travelled to the UAE and was ferried round town in Hushpuppi’s car.

Mr. Andrew John Innocenti, FBI Special Agent, noted: “Based on messages I reviewed, ABBAS appears to have first interacted with KYARI in September 2019, when KYARI traveled to the U.A.E. The conversation indicated that ABBAS sent a car and driver to drive KYARI during that trip. Soon thereafter, KYARI sent ABBAS a video slideshow which showed some personal photographs of KYARI, some of which appeared to have been taken in the U.A.E. Later in September, after KYARI sent ABBAS an article that discussed him arresting alleged kidnappers, ABBAS wrote, in part, to KYARI:

“Am really happy to be ur boy,” and later, “I promise to be a good boy to u sir.”

The FBI would later compile the WhatsApp conversations between Abba Kyari and Hushpuppi.

Below are word-for-word excerpts from their chat on WhatsApp, according to the FBI:

September 2019

Hushpuppi – “Am really happy to be ur boy,” and later, “I promise to be a good boy to u sir.”

On the 13th of January 2020, Hushpuppi asked Chibuzor for his number and then sent that number to Abba Kyari

Then on the 20th of January 2020, Abba Kyari sent Chibuzor’s details to Huspuppi and the following conversation ensued.

Abba Kyari – “We have arrested the guy He is in my Cell now. This is his picture after we arrested him today.” – He sent a picture of Chibuzor in the cell to Hushpuppi

Huspuppi – “Yes yes that is him sir.”

Kyari then sent other pictures of Chubuzor in cell to Hushpuppi

Hushpuppi –  “I want him to go through serious beating of his life.”

Abba Kyari – “Hahahaha,”

Hushpuppi – “Seriously sir.”

Abba Kyari then sent a voice note to Hushpuppi asking him what happened “So that we will know what to do.”

Huspuppi sent a voice note to reply Kyari and answer his question about what happened.

“What he did is, I have one job. The job want to pay me 500, umm, 75,000 dollars [i.e. $575,000]. He went to message the job behind me because I told him to help me make one document for me to give the job. Then he went—he has a—I gave him the details. Then he went to message the job behind my back and try to divert the money and in this process he tell the job because of the documents he gave me that I gave the job, he tell the job, “These document they sent to you before. These people are fake. This money—is me who can help you to get it. Come to me le—bring this money you want to pay these people to me. I’m the only one who can help you,” and

all these things to divert the job for himself.”

Abba Kyari – “Ok I understand But he has not succeeded.”

Hushpuppi then sent screenshot of Chibuzor’s chat with the victim, trying to divert the money for himself to Abba Kyari.

Abba Kyari – “Yeah I understand.”

Hushpuppi – “Now the [Victim ] was skeptic to pay me the money cos he keep attacking the [Victim] from his end. Now I can handle the [Victim] correctly.”

Hushpuppi – “Please sir I want to spend money to send this boy to jail, let him

Abba Kyari – “Hahahaha Hahahaha.”

6 minutes later, Abba Kyari then sent a Zenith Bank account details to Hushpuppi

Hushpuppi – “Ok sir, tomorrow by noon[i will send the money]”

One month after on February 19, 2020, Abba Kyari sent Hushpuppi a WhatsApp message.

Abba Kyari – “Hello hush with [sic] need to talk about the subject under detention with me.”

Hushpuppi –  “Should I call u on this number sir?”

Abba Kyari – “Yes call me.”

After the call, Abba Kyari sent Hushpuppi photos of Chibuzor in custody and close up pictures of skin disease and skin rash he got while in Abba Kyari’s cell.
