The Nigerian Instagram star Hushpuppi, conspired with a 28-year-old Kenyan – Abdulrahman Imraan Juma, a.k.a. “Abdul,” and a Nigerian Kelly Chibuzo Vincent to defraud a Qatar businessperson by posing as consultants and bankers who could facilitate a loan to finance a planned school’s construction in Qatar.

According to court documents, Juma allegedly posed as a facilitator and consultant for the illusory bank loans, while Hushpuppi played the role of “Malik,” a Wells Fargo banker in New York.

Vincent, in turn, is accused of providing support for the victim’s false narratives by among other things, creating bogus documents and arranging for the creation of a bogus bank website and phone banking line.

In the latest development, Hushpuppi admitted to participating in the scheme to steal more than Ksh. 1.1 billion from a businessperson attempting to fund the construction of a school in Qatar.

According to the US, Abbas was involved in frauds that cost victims a total of Ksh.2.6 billion.

The stolen monies from the school scheme were used to purchase a Richard Mille RM11-03 watch, which was physically delivered to Abbas in Dubai and later appeared in Hushpuppi’s social media posts, according to the US.
