Nigerians have begun to react on social media after the United States District Court in California said the initial date for the final hearing of a fraud case involving socialite and alleged fraudster Ramon Abass, scheduled for February 14, 2022, has now been postponed till July 11, 2022.
According to reports, the United States District Court in California postponed the date for the sentencing of the self-acclaimed real estate developer after his lawyer Louis Shapiro entered a request for postponement.
Recall the Dubai Police in the United Arab Emirates had in June 2020 arrested Hushpuppi and his gang as they were later extradited to the US for prosecution by the FBI.
The FBI Special Agent, Andrew Innocenti, had alleged that Hushpuppi contracted the services of Kyari after a “co-conspirator,” Chibuzo Vincent, allegedly threatened to expose the alleged $1.1m fraud committed against a Qatari businessman.
Innocenti, who said he obtained voice calls and WhatsApp conversations between Kyari and Hushpuppi, had also alleged that the latter paid the police officer N8m or $20,600 for the arrest and detention of Vincent.
Kyari had taken to Facebook on July 29, 2021 to deny the allegations, but he later deleted the post after editing it about 12 times.
The IG had recommended the suspension of Kyari, which the PSC carried out on July 31, 2021.
The recent report about the alleged fraudster has amassed mixed reactions on social media.
