Embattled Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari, has
deleted a Facebook post in which he explained his relationship with alleged
internet fraudster, Ramon Abbas, popularly known as Hushpuppi.
Kyari was mentioned by Hushpuppi, as receiving part of the
proceeds of fraud for which the latter is being prosecuted in the U.S.
Hushpuppi, who has agreed to plead guilty to the fraud, told
U.S. prosecutors that he gave Mr Kyari part of the proceeds of the crime.
He said he also got Abba Kyari to arrest one of his Nigerianaccomplices when they had a disagreement.
Kyari took to his verified Facebook page to state his
innocence.
In his statement, Mr Kyari said he did not demand any money
from Hushpuppi. He, however, said he introduced the accused to a cloth seller whom he (Hushpuppi) paid about N300,000.
Deleted/Edited post
Check on Tuesday evening indicates that the embattled deputy
police commissioner had edited the post severally and expunged the section
where he claimed he linked Hushpuppi up with his tailor.
He also edited the N300,000 claim and included a section
where he mentioned the sum of N8m.
Few hours after editing the post, it was entirely pulled
down from his page, creating room for more suspicion.
Mr Kyari has been highly criticised by many Nigerians
following his statement responding to the saga.
The Police Service Commission (PSC) recently suspended the
embattled officer from office as a deputy commissioner of police and head of the
Intelligence Response Team (IRT).
His suspension was based on the recommendation of Inspector
General of Police, Usman Baba.
The police chief recommended the suspension as a temporary
measure to allow investigation into Mr Kyari’s relationship with the renowned
fraudster.
