Nigeria International Police just confirmed the arrest of Raymond Igbalode popularly known as Hushpuppi in Dubai.

According to a Nigerian Instagram blogger, the Commissioner of Police (CP) INTERPOL, Garba Umar, has now confirmed his arrest.

It is true that Hushpuppi was arrested by the INTERPOL. We are currently working on bringing him to Nigeria to face charges of fraud.

Some of the offenses were committed here in Nigeria and he has to answer for them. He is not alone in it; there are accomplices in the country who we are currently on their trail

he said

Previously the amount which was said to have been stolen was about $35million but other information is revealing it was far more than that amount.

Hushpuppi and his accomplices in Nigeria, Dubai and other countries allegedly defrauded the U.S of over $100 million COVID-19 Relief Funds meant for Americans in the battle against the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
