The social media celebrity was rounded up alongside 12 others for their involvement in a series of cyber crime activities targeting companies and individuals.

The 38-year-old, who authorities identified as Raymond Abbas, is known for his ostentatious lifestyle and flaunting of his wealth and luxurious acquisitions on social media.

Mr. Abbas is also wanted for other fraud crimes in his home country of Nigeria as well as Europe and the United States.

Meanwhile, Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has reacted to Hushpuppi’s arrest, claiming he is “Nigeria’s most-wanted hacker” in a statement on Thursday.

Referring to Hushpuppi as Ramoni Igbalode and not Raymond Abbas, the commission also confirmed his arrest in the United Arab Emirates for his alleged involvement in a “$35 million ventilator scam.”
