Inside details of the fraudulent deal Hushpuppi carried out that indicted Abba Kyari

More details on the fraud deal that Hushpuppi involved and has also indicted Nigerian Super-cop, Abba Kyari with, has been shared.

THE ARTICLE WAS COMPOSED BY CHANNELS TV

Read below ;

In October 2019, a businessperson started looking for an investor who could provide a $15 million loan to build an international school in Qatar.

By November, the businessperson was on a plane to Kenya, to meet a potential facilitator – Abdulrahman Juma, a 28-year-old parading as the ‘Chairman’ and ‘Funding Officer’ of Westload Financial Solutions Limited.

Juma was able to convince the businessperson to sign a contract that mandated the payment of a $225,000 consultancy fee before the loan could be disbursed.

Of course, there was no loan. But the businessperson didn’t know that at the time.

After the businessperson wired a first tranche of $164,450, Juma provided a forged document showing a wire transfer of $15 million from a Barclays Bank account in the United Kingdom to the businessperson’s bank account in Qatar, according to documents from the US Department of Justice seen and reviewed by Channels Television.

When the businessperson reached out to the bank to confirm the funds, there was no $15 million. The businessperson contacted Juma, who said the businessperson had to pay another “payment of release order” to release the funds.

In early December, the businessperson wired another $150,000, hoping that would be the final payment for the release of the $15 million. The businessperson was wrong.

Because the dance had just begun.

Enter Hushpuppi

On December 7, 2019, Juma reached out to Ramon Abbas, popularly known as Hushpuppi.

Juma and Hushpuppi, apparently, belonged to a global fraud syndicate that has fleeced numerous individuals and organisations of millions of dollars.

The December 2019 conversation, too, revolved around how they could siphon more money off the businessperson seeking a $15 million loan.

Hushpuppi told Juma that he would pretend to be a Bank Director – with the moniker Malik – when communicating with the businessperson. The duo agreed on profit sharing and Hushpuppi created a new Whatsapp account, using an American phone number.

Texting the businessperson, Hushpuppi introduced himself as Malik, “the director of the bank responsible for crediting you the funds” working with “Mr Rahman (Juma) from Kenya.”

Juma and Hushpuppi shared, with each other, screenshots of their messages with the businessperson, as the conversations progressed.

To begin to tempt the businessperson to part with more money, Hushpuppi said there was a need to open a bank account in the United States, to transfer the $15 million loan because Qatar had apparently been sanctioned by the US government.

The initial agreement was that the funds will then be credited from the US account to the businessperson’s bank account in London.

Apparently, Hushpuppi had a ‘white guy’ from America call the businessperson to boost the legitimacy of the scheme. The businessperson “is so happy”, Hushpuppi reported to Juma.

Using the resources at his disposal, Hushpuppi created a fictitious business name statement (carrying the name of the businessperson’s company) in the US. He then used the business name to open a bank account, in the name of the businessperson’s company.

He was also able to generate a ‘Durable Power of Attorney’ form. Fraudulent, of course.

On December 20, Hushpuppi sent the account and online login of the Canoga Park Wells Fargo account to the businessperson, who must have felt, once again, that the loan was palpable.

But when the businessperson sent Hushpuppi the information for a UK bank account where the loan funds should be deposited, the latter balked.

Hushpuppi told the businessperson that it would not work to send funds to a “personal account” in the UK. Instead, the businessperson should open an investor’s account with his own private banking service.

To open the account, Hushpuppi said, the businessperson would have to fund it with a minimum of 250,000 pounds.

At this point, the businessperson started to smell a rat. But the allure of imminent victory was too strong.

On December 23, after some back and forth between Juma and Hushpuppi, (the former apparently wasn’t convinced that it was the right time to ask for more money) the businessperson agreed to open the investor’s account.

Game, set . . . match?

American money launderers
To receive and launder the proceeds of the Qatar operation, Hushpuppi relied on two other individuals living in the United States – Rukayat Fashola and Bolatito Agbabiaka.

He also used part of the loot to purchase a luxury Richard Mille watch and St. Kitts citizenship.

On December 24, Hushpuppi sent the businessperson two bank account details, one belonging to Agbabiaka, and the other to the Richard Mille watchseller.

That same day, the businessperson transferred $330,000 to the accounts and sent Hushpuppi photographs of the wire transfer confirmations.

Juma forwarded the businessperson’s messages to Hushpuppi with a note: “I need your advice before I get back.”

Hushpuppi must have smiled. He had another trick up his sleeve.

The money call
On January 4, 2020, Vincent Chibuzo, another of Hushpuppi’s associates, sent the Instagram celebrity a message containing a “telephone banking” number.

This will “blow the client’s mind,” Chibuzo said in his message to Hushpuppi.

The next plan had been to create a fake Wells Fargo bank website and a fake banking automated telephone number that could deceive the businessperson that, indeed, the promised funds had been deposited into the Canoga Park Wells Fargo account Hushpuppi had opened for the Qatar business.

When the “telephone banking” information was eventually sent to the businessperson, it was so convincing that the businessperson wrote back to Hushpuppi: “OMG, I can’t believe it, it’s true.”

After calling the businessperson, Juma sent Hushpuppi a voice note.

The businessperson “can’t breathe,” he said.

The businessperson “is really excited.”

The businessperson “is crying tears of joy.”

The businessperson “is thanking me.”

In response, Hushpuppi said, “Are you proud of me or not? It’s a perfect job, bro.”

The tax plan
After raising the businessperson’s hopes, Hushpuppi reached out and claimed there was a need to pay a tax of $575,000 to have the loan cleared.

“Sorry but this is too much,” the businessperson replied.

The next day, the businessperson contacted Juma, asking him to find a way to avoid paying the $575,000 tax. Juma sent screenshots of this conversation to Hushpuppi.

On January 10, Hushpuppi and Juma discussed reducing the amount the businessperson should be asked to pay. Later, they communed on how to stop the businessperson from flying to the UK to confirm that there were funds in the purported Wells Fargo account.

Juma said he had told the businessperson to keep things quiet, and to not tell anyone or ask anyone about the status of the loan.

On January 13, the businessperson agreed to pay $440,000 in taxes.

The Kyari connection
The saying that ‘there is no honour among thieves’ began to manifest among the Hushpuppi syndicate.

First, Juma was able to secure $299,983.58 from the businessperson, perhaps as part of the tax payments. But he refused to share it with Hushpuppi because he (Juma) had not received a share from the earlier $330,000 sent by the businessperson.

Then Chibuzo, who was based in Nigeria at the time, accused Hushpuppi of not paying for the work that was being done on the fake Wells Fargo website.

As a way to get back at Hushpuppi, Chibuzo contacted the businessperson directly and, claiming he was “trying to help”, said Hushpuppi was a scammer.

When Hushpuppi got wind of Chibuzo’s actions, he was livid. “I will deal with him,” he told Juma.

Hushpuppi reached out to Abba Kyari, a Deputy Commissioner in the Nigeria Police Force, and sent him Chibuzo’s phone number.

Super Cop, Abba Kyari

In one text to Chibuzo, Hushpuppi said in pidgin: “I swear with my life that you will regret messing with me, you will even wish you died before my hands will touch you.”

Now, Hushpuppi’s relationship with DCP Kyari is contested.

The police officer has said he received no payment to arrest Chibuzo and that he was only responding to a violent threat complaint raised by Hushpuppi.

But there is overwhelming evidence – including screenshots of receipts sent by Hushpuppi to Kyari – that the arrest of Chibuzo was influenced by DCP Kyari’s chummy relationship with Hushpuppi and not credible intelligence. (The Nigeria police has said it is investigating the matter)

“Please sir, I want to spend money to send this boy to jail; let him go for a very long time,” Hushpuppi said in one text to Kyari.

“Ok bro, I understand,” Kyari texted back. “I will discuss with my team who arrested him . . . we will do something about it.”

Hushpuppi said he was ready to send money to the team, so they can deal with Chibuzo like an “armed robber.” Kyari said he would send the team’s account details.

When Hushpuppi said “I want him to suffer for many years,” Kyari responded, “hahahaha . . . hahahaha.”

Chibuzo was released about a month later after contracting a skin disease in jail.

A litany of doubts
Chibuzo’s whistleblowing had apparently not deterred the businessperson. Too much money had been sunk into acquiring the $15 million loan, the businessperson must have reasoned. Too late to now throw in the towel.

But after paying Juma $299,983.58, the businessperson was beginning to doubt the Kenyan financier and turned to ‘Malik’, the Wells Fargo banker.

The businessperson told Malik – Hushpuppi – that they believed Juma had been scamming them, after spending over $1 million to acquire the loan.

“I know that you think I am stupid but I trust (Juma) and now I’m going bankrupt,” the businessperson said.

Ever the conman, Hushpuppi said, “Wow, over one million?”

Then he promised to help the businessperson.

Later, he claimed to have spoken to his supervisor who was willing to reduce the tax amount that the businessperson would pay to $180,000. But he asked the businessperson to keep their discussions confidential, especially from Juma.

“Try and get the $180,000 sent before the end of the month and (Juma) will be put to shame and God will deal with him also,” Hushpuppi told the businessperson.

At the same time, Hushpuppi was deflecting enquiries from Juma about what the next move to get more money from the businessperson was.

On March 2, 2020, the businessperson wired the $180,000 to Hushpuppi, a bulk of it to an account provided by Agbabiaka, the alleged American co-launderer.

On March 11, the businessperson contacted Hushpuppi to ask about when she would receive the $15 million loan to build the international school. Hushpuppi claimed to have gone to the IRS to pay the tax and that his boss would be able to send the wire the next day.

The next day, Hushpuppi told the businessperson that his boss, Yousif, would contact the businessperson.

The bogus Yousif identity contacted the businessperson via Whatsapp and demanded payment for additional “transfer charges.”

But the businessperson, exhausted and defeated, reached out to Hushpuppi instead.

“Sorry Mr Malik but I’m not gonna pay more and I’m out of this game,” the businessperson said. “I’ll stop all my communication with you . . . You are doing what exactly Juma did . . . I’m now 100% sure that you and Juma and Yousif are all one team.”

Nigerian guy and lady whose photos from the same primary school are legendary memes online, finally link up (Photos)

A Nigerian gentleman and lovely lady who are alumni of the same primary school have photos taken of them during a prize giving ceremony at the school, as legendary memes on the internet.

Some months ago, the gentleman shared his throwback from the event on his Twitter page and when it gathered momentum on the social networking app, the lady quoted his tweet with a throwback of hers sharing so much similarities.

Apparently, they attended the same primary school and the throwback photos were taken on the same day, in the same place — this made the tweets blow up even more with tweeps now making memes out of the photos.

The facial expression of the lady and the guy even though they had both won something is more of the reason why the photos blew up on the internet — with the guy having a gruntled face as he received his gift and the lady wearing a more charming smile whilst receiving hers.

Months later after their photos buzzed on social media, the pair finally linked up after so many years and the gentleman, with handle, @EvansTed101, shared lovely snaps from their meeting on his page.

The photos have since garnered tens of thousands of likes on Twitter with a lot of people delighted with the adorable reunion. See more photos below,

Hushpuppi’s mistake was that he didn’t listen and he’s stubborn – Mompha (video)

Nigerian Big man, Mompha has broken his silence on the arrest and trial of Ramon “Hushpuppi” Abbas.

Mompha, who used to be good friends with Hushpuppi, said since Hushpuppi was arrested in Dubai and extradited to the United States of America, Nigerians have been linking his own predicament with Hushpuppi’s.

Mompha also averred that with the FBI naming DCP Abba Kyari as a co-conspirator with Huspuppi, Nigerians trooped to his page again to threaten that he’s next.

In an Insta-live session with Daddy Freeze, He said that he was arrested by the EFCC over allegations of fraud in 2019 and then re-arrested him in 2020, the FBI interviewed him and they had nothing against him.

He went on to add that for Hushpuppi, what “fu**ed him up” was that “he didn’t listen and he’s stubborn.”

In his words ;

“So, this life, if something happens to somebody, you’re supposed to use your brain, say, ‘wetin be the next thing? Make I cool down or make I no cool down?”

”A sex-starved marriage is heading for destruction; spouses should be available for each other, otherwise there will be a tendency to go where they would be accepted because the burning must be satisfied.”

In another post that was shared, the clergyman shared his views on the issue of “Excessive Nagging”, it reads ;

Bola Tinubu is not dead or hospitalized – Aide says

Mr. Tunde Rahman, who is the Special Adviser on Media to National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has denied media reports claiming his boss is dead or hospitalized abroad.

There were reports online yesterday, July 31 claiming the former Lagos state governor is receiving treatment for an undisclosed ailment in a hospital abroad.

In a statement released, Rahman debunked the rumor saying his principal is hale and hearty.

The statement reads ;

“His Excellency Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is fine. He is hale and hearty. He is not in any hospital. He has no medical problem that would require hospitalisation.

Yes, he is out of the country at the moment. He will be back shortly. Anytime he travels out of the country, the next thing some mischievous people would say is he is sick, hospitalized, or has died.

It is shameful that perpetrators of this evil are not deterred by the fact that each time this fake news has been propagated, they have been proven wrong.

Who really is afraid of Asiwaju Tinubu? Those wishing Asiwaju Tinubu evil or dead should be careful. They should know the matter of life and death is in the hand of only God Almighty.”

Little boy rescued after facing horrific abuse during one-month stay with his “madam” in Lagos (Video)

A little boy identified as Daniel has been rescued from his madam who subjected him to horrific physical abuse only one month after he was brought in to stay with the woman.

The boy who is from Jos, revealed that his mother is late and his father is in the village, so he was brought from the North to Lagos and placed in the hands of a woman identified as Onyebuchi in Surulere, Lagos, so he can work for her and get sent to school in return.

The boy who is reported to be 13, was instead subjected to physical abuse and wasn’t enrolled into any school.

Concerned neighbours got involved after they saw the lad eating from a maggot infested dustbin in the compound. The neighbours saw that the young boy had cuts and bruises all over his body and his fingers were also bent and bruised.

The neighbours then made a video, asking the little boy what happened to him, to which he responded that his “Aunty” is responsible for hitting him.

Reports about the horrific abuse then made its way to the internet and human rights activist, Dr Yolanda George-David went to the named address in Surulere and there met the boy with his madam.

The little man was quite injured that he showed signs of serious pain when he was asked to sit, it was hard for him because of bruises on his bum.

According to reports from the encounter, his madam insisted she wasn’t responsible for the bruises he had. She also added that she regularly feeds the boy and doesn’t maltreat him.

The activist however, let her know they have receipts in form of videos of the boy carrying heavy things on his head and eating from the dustbin.

When the madam was why she is yet to enroll the boy in school, she explained that he has been with her for only one month and she was making efforts to do so. Also, most schools closed for the term a week ago so it wouldn’t have been possible to get him enrolled at the end of the school term.

It also was alleged that the madam got her children to abuse Daniel. She reportedly asked one of her children to hit Daniel’s head on the wall and the child did.

Despite the madam’s denials, the activists promised to ensure she faces the law.

A police officer who followed the activists to the scene took the madam to the police station in a bus. The madam’s child who hit Daniel’s head on the wall was also taken to the station to write a statement.

Singer, Buju reacts after old tweets he shared trashing a number of Nigerian singers resurface

New school Nigerian singing sensation, Daniel Benson, known better by his stage name, Buju has reacted after old tweets of him calling out Nigerian singers before he became famous, were dug up and recalled on the microblogging platform.

In the old tweets, the singer, who’s been making waves with his singles and features in the span of close to two years, specifically outed a number of Nigerian singers, criticized their works and even called some “overrated”.

In one tweet, he says “if everyone had his mentality, some musicians will not make it.” In another tweet, he called Davido a “childish c**t“. He called Mr Eazi overrated and outed Yemi Alade as well.

After the singer’s old tweets went viral on Twitter, he immediately deleted the tweets and then made a statement in reaction, saying at the time, he was ignorant.

According to him, making music has made him realize that it’s easier to give “unsolicited takes” about another person’s music when you do not make music.

He added, “Over the year’s I have grown to understand that receiving and consuming music is way easier than actually making music.”
