…As fans unfollow him on instagram

Following the arrest of Nigerian socialite Hushpuppi, in Dubai recently on multiple fraud charges, he has also reportedly lost followers on instagram.

Hushpuppi whose real name is Raymond Abbas Igbalode alongside 12 others were arrested by Security officers in the emirate for online fraud.

The 38-year-old was referred to the Dubai public prosecution and is currently being questioned by prosecutors at the Bur Dubai section.

The prosecutors have charged him for “obtaining money from others through fraudulent means.”

He was arrested with 12 others for online fraud that targets companies and individuals.

“They would send out letters from email addresses almost identical to those of legitimate companies, targeting customers of these companies, with the purpose of diverting payments to themselves,” said a senior prosecutor.

“Initial information includes that he was part of this gang which fraudulently obtained cash and cars from people.”

Hushpuppi is also wanted for fraud crimes in Europe, the United States and Nigeria.

With over two million followers on Instagram and known for displaying his wealth on social media, the Instagram celebrity according to singer Harrysong is gradually losing followers.

According to Harrysong, “See how quickly people started unfollowing Hushpuppi as soon as they heard he’s been arrested, without even asking to know the real and true story, after all the giveaways of millions o. What lesson did you learn from this matter right about now?”.

Hushpuppi is known for posting pictures with his luxury cars like Ferrari and Rolls Royce and a private jet.
