Is Abba Kyari Right? by Denn(m): 10:56am On Aug 09, 2021
Is Abba Kyari Right?

Amid many accounts and opinions making rounds on the sudden fallout of Abba Kyari with the laws of the United States, it becomes very easy to throw the proverbial baby away with the bathwater. However, an unbiased analysis could show us some light into this complex mess the super cop has thrown himself into and the possible truths he so desperately wants the public to know.

It should be noted that this article is not to support the character of Abba Kyari nor his alleged actions in his unexpected marriage with Hushpuppi. It is to beam a searchlight on the events that led to his FBI indictment and immediate Facebook storyline and numerous edits which he finally deleted. 

Kyari’s initial response on social media was very fast. It came just moments after the news broke. It was not news to him. He was expecting it to come up one day. He had an answer ready-made to counter the reports. Few weeks before the news broke, Kyari was in his comfort zone. He went to Oba to celebrate with Obi Cubana. He made posts to justify the association, claiming Obi Cubana is a 'brother and good friend' when concerns were raised by the public. His love for the good life was also on display on posts made on Facebook. He posted lovely holiday resorts around the world. He would love to be there. It never crossed his mind that the FBI could declare him wanted. He was lucky not to have been in Sicily or any other FBI-tolerant location when he was declared wanted. 

He became flustered after the unsealed court documents implied he received 8 million Naira from Hushpuppi. He immediately dropped a rebuttal on the same Facebook post, explaining that it was a request to help recover debts. He tried to explain that he didn't receive the alleged funds but the people on social media were not ready to listen. To them, the attempt at changing the storyline alone implies fraudulent intentions. Is it possible that he did not receive a payment of 8 million Naira from Hush? This article tries to review events based on available information.

Kyari met Hush physically in September 2019 when he went to Dubai. FBI court documents indicate that Hush provided a car and driver for Kyari’s use during the trip. Hush possibly didn’t know how powerful Kyari was and in further communications, Kyari detailed his prowess by sending to Hush pictures and links to articles discussing the super cop arresting kidnappers. Hush was sold and promised allegiance to Kyari. 
A few months later, In January 2020, one of Hushpuppi’s associates in this fraud, Vincent was acting rouge. His job was to provide documents, web pages, and a telephone banking system to be used by 'Hush Enterprises' in their ongoing scam of the Qatari. Vincent was contacting the Qatari and trying to divert the balance of the proceeds. Hush was enraged. He allegedly contacted Kyari and requested an arrest plus detention of the erring Vincent. Kyari asked for Vincent’s phone number. Every user of any telephone service in Nigeria is required to register his biometrics during SIM activation. This information throve which is confidential should normally be accessible to enforcement agencies only after following due process. However, Kyari’s access is unlimited and as evidenced with this case, can and has been used to settle personal and non-state-related cases. On January 20, Kyari sent personal and confidential details of Vincent to Hushpuppi, which he possibly retrieved from the SIM registration database. He detailed the full name, age, place of birth, and even Vincent’s address in Abuja. The same day, Kyari, using tracking and surveillance systems of the Federal Republic of Nigeria arrested Vincent. It is of importance to note that these systems were provided to Kyari to be used in tracking kidnappers and terrorists. It was on this same day that Kyari asked Hush what Vincent did, a question which Hush did not hesitate to answer as truthfully as possible, and which Kyari had no problem with. Hush requested that Vincent be detained for a long time and requested account details. Kyari sent details to him and Hush promised to pay the next day. This possibly is the alleged tailor’s bank details where Hush wired the N300,000. 

Vincent having spent a month in detention, his people became nervous and decided to raise N1m indirectly demanded by the police to bail him. Vincent’s girlfriend contacted Hushpuppi and he agreed to donate N100,000 to the cause. This detail was communicated between Hush and Kyari. The Police eventually agreed to release Vincent on 25th February 2020 after spending one month and five days in detention. Vincent’s family would have secured his release possibly after settling with the additional N1m.
Kyari assumed that the only link the FBI would be able to trace to him was the N300,000 payment to the alleged tailor. He assumed he was thus protected with this alibi. This was why he was quick to respond with that ready-made story. Total funds would therefore be around N1,300,000.

The Hushpuppi/Vincent scam on the Qatari ended on 12th March 2020 when the Qatari fully realized that he was being scammed all along by Hushpuppi et al. The last inflow on the transaction occurred, ten days before on March 2, 2020. By this time, Hushpuppi was already in financial constraints and had used the Richard Mille watch to take a loan from a watch company in Dubai. After a series of attempts to repay the watch company, Hushpuppi finally instructed them to sell the watch on 26th April 2020. During this period, the COVID lockdown had started and Hushpuppi was already onto another scam.
The 8 million Naira transaction happened in May 2020 and in all fairness could be a debt recovery job. Debt recovery is a normal ‘extra job’ that policemen do in Nigeria. Many police staff have been involved in debt recovery one way or another. If someone is in debt to you, you call a policeman or woman whom you are close to and they get the debtor's details, invite him to the station and intimate the debtor to pay up. Of course, the Police authorities have repeatedly told everyone to stop using the police to recover civil debts. This is possibly why Abba Kyari was quick to deny ever receiving the N8,000,000 being touted in the FBI court documents. Without further evidence, it is possible he was telling the truth here.

It is possible the only money Kyari and his boys have to explain is just the N1,300,000. Why do I have this notion? There are two reasons. First, Kyari did not want to be fully involved in the scam beyond what was legally defensible. The transcripts of his conversation with Hushpuppi show that he was not ‘pushy’ enough to seize the opportunity. He was just saying ‘I understand’ and agreeing to Hushpuppi without diplomatic negotiations which any smart but corrupt police officer would have done. Even when he asked and He saw an advantage, he did not fully fleece it. 
His path of self-vindication is only taken by not-so-smart people. He is more concerned about his public perception. His office space is littered with his past awards. He took his time to ensure his personal opinion of himself is evident to everyone. This is why he was so quick to make rebuttals to the public when that was not the legal option available to him. When Kyari saw that the FBI claimed that he received N8m based on screenshots sent to him and despite being on an investigation by the police already, he was quick to point out on Facebook that the 8m was just a recovery request.

My second reason is Hushpuppi. That clown is extremely greedy and records already show him trying to dupe even his crime associates. He gave the fund picker only 8,000 USD out of over 500,000 USD. He played the Kenyan who brought the fraud deal. If that guy was not fast enough to divert around 300,000 USD to his Kenyan account directly, that guy would not have gotten anything. Finally, the Vincent guy who did all the fraudulent website work and back-end business was not paid adequately despite his complaints. This is why Kyari was brought into the picture in the first instance. 
Can fraudulent Hushpuppi who is greedy, lives an expensive life, and was financially broke pay a mere policeman a whole 8 million Naira just for locking up Vincent? I doubt. 

If Abba Kyari and his lawyers can prove without reasonable doubt that the N8m was not collected by him and perchance also prove that the N300,000 was actually paid to a Tailor, who is ready to testify to this as fact, it gives them a chance to technically discount some parts of the FBI investigation. This could help him with the Police Disciplinary committee and can limit his maximum punishment to say a dismissal due to unprofessional conduct and not extradition. This however does not absolve him of the charges in the United States. The FBI documents show quite clearly that Kyari's actions, by knowingly detaining Vincent, enabled Hushpuppi to further fleece the Qatari of an additional $180,000. This makes him an accessory and the fact that he received adequate payment or not will not absolve him.

In condemning or defending Abba Kyari, judging by the two camps of public opinion on this matter, I hope these matters would be put into consideration. Opinions made here are in reference to the court documents recently unsealed in the united states and the social media posts of Abba Kyari himself, which he also recently deleted.

Please Kindly tell the.super fraud to go America and defend his involvement in the scam.

You people are yet to.understand the FBI. They have a lot.of incriminating evidence on Kyari based on his involvement with Hushpuppi, they are only releasing it bit by bit. The more reason Abba Kyari after his response on the initial release, kept mute all along.

He is scared what.more they.know. Don't be surprised FBI may have hacked into Abba Kyari's phone line and heard his conversation for quite sometime.

Stop the.lame analysis, FBI is just starting.

Wait till they get Abba Kyari.
