Before now, the name DCP Abba Kyari commanded respect among Nigerians and evoked fear in the minds of criminals, but in the last 24 hours, his name has been associated with fraud as a result of documents by the US authorities linking him with Hushpuppi, suspected fraudster and Instagram celebrity.

Hushpuppi, whose real name is Ramon Abbas, had alleged that he bribed Kyari, a deputy commissioner of police (DCP), to arrest a co-fraudster.

The crack investigator, however, dismissed Hushpuppi’s claim, saying he did not receive any money from the socialite as alleged.

TheCable reported that the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had secured a court order for Kyari’s arrest following his indictment in the confessional statements made by Hushpuppi.

However, in a new development, Usman Alkali Baba, the inspector-general of police (IGP), ordered an internal probe of the allegations against Kyari.

With 816 posts and over 73,000 followers on Instagram as of the time of filing this report, Kyari is that super cop everyone wants to associate with.

From posting his achievements, to sharing photos of his friends and families, Kyari posts virtually all his social activities on Instagram.

One of his most liked post is a recent photo of him and Obi Cubana, the Abuja-based business mogul, who has become a viral sensation for the lavish funeral held in honour of Uche Iyiegbu, his mother.

In the post, Kyari described Cubana as one of the most hardworking entrepreneurs he has known for many years.

Among top personalities he had shared their photos on Instagram are Aisha Buhari, Nigeria’s first lady; Adamu Mohammed, former inspector-general of police (IGP); Femi Gbajabiamila, speaker of the house of representatives; Babagana Zulum, governor of his home state, Borno; Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2baba; Davido; Bob-Manuel Udokwu, Nollywood actor, and a host of others.

Below are some of his top post on Instagram.
