A deputy commissioner of police (DCP), Abba Kyari, has denied receiving money from Hushpuppi, the embattled Nigerian socialite.
Kyari who was reacting to a report making the rounds that he received money from Hushpuppi, said that his hands are clean.
According to US court documents, Huspuppi had alleged that he bribed Abba Kyari to arrest a co-fraudster.
Court officials said during interrogation, the Instagram celebrity disclosed that he bribed Kyari to arrest and jail one of his rivals in Nigeria after a dispute over a $1.1 million scam on Qatari businesspeople.
But the top cop said, ”Nobody demanded any money from Abbas Hushpuppi and nobody collected any money from him.
“We responded to a distress call he made on the threat to his family and released the Suspect when we discovered there was no life threat from the Suspect. This is the true story. Vincent is alive, he can be contacted.
” For those celebrating that this is an indictment on us and mentioning some fictitious big money, they will be disappointed again as our hands are clean and our record of service for 2 decades is open for everybody to see.”
