A United States Court sitting in Illinois, Chicago has shared its reason for denying Ramon Abbas a.k.a Hushpuppi bail.

Recall that the Instagram celebrity who was arrested last month in Dubai for alleged wire fraud and extradited to the U.S on July 3, was accused of being part of a network that made “hundreds of millions of dollars” from business email compromise frauds and other scams.

The US court has now revealed it denied Hushpuppi bail and the opportunity to stay with his girlfriend's Uncle pending the conclusion of his trial.

Based on the recommendations of the Pretrial services which provides the court quality information about defendants, it was stated that Hushpuppi presents a risk of non appearance and should be removed to the charging district in California in custody.

Premium Times reported that other factors include the fact that Mr Abbas is subject to lengthy period of incarceration if convicted, lacks significant community or family ties to the district, lacks significant family or other ties outside the United States, lacks legal status in the country and will be subjected to removal or deportation for serving any period of incarceration.

If the allegations turns out true, it was further stated that Huspuppi who has ties with many foreign countries has sufficient assets to fund flight to anywhere in the world.

The statement partly read;

“Abbas reportedly rents an apartment in Dubai for $10.000 a month and drives a Bentley. He is alleged to have committed financial crimes that netted tens of millions of dollars or more.

"For these reasons and those stated on the record, Mr Abbas shall be removed to the charging district in the custody of the US Marshal."

Hushpuppi risks spending 20 years in prison if convicted.

22-year-old Fatima Bishir has been arrested by the Katsina state police command for allegedly kidnapping her daughter to implicate her husband’s ex-wife.

Fatima reportedly sent out a text message, demanding a N2 million ransom to secure the release of their 5-year-old daughter.

The suspect who tried implicating her husband's ex-wife at the police station, alleged that she (ex-wife) once threatened to revenge the death of her child who died under her care. She also planted her daughter's pants and shoe in the house of her husband's ex-wife to back her claim.

Police spokesman, Gambo Isah said;

“On July 5, 2020 at 0800 hours, the suspect falsely reported at Mashi Police Division that her little daughter was missing and strongly suspected the ex-wife of her husband.

“After thorough investigation, the suspect confessed to be the writer of the text message sent to her husband, Bishir Isyaku, 40, threatening him to either pay N2 million ransom or risk his daughter being killed by the kidnappers.”

Fatima took her daughter away from their residence in Mashi to Kano where she hid her with help of her housemaid Faiza. She was arrested as she tried abandoning her daughter near the house of the ex-wife’s mother in Dutsi.

Police have arrested three people involved in the recent Twitter Bitcoin h*ck that targeted the accounts of major public figures including Elon Musk, Barack Obama, Bill Gates, Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, and many others.


A British man and two Americans including a 17-year-old boy from Florida are all facing charges for scamming people across America.


The 17-year-old was arrested Friday July 31 and charged in Tampa, where the Hillsborough State Attorney’s Office will prosecute him as an adult.

Clark faces 30 felony charges, according to the Hillsborough State Attorney's Office. The charges includes 17 counts of communications fraud (over $300), 10 counts of fraudulent use of personal information, and one count each of organized fraud (over $50,000), fraudulent use of personal information (over $100,000 or 30 or more victims) and access computer or electronic device without authority (scheme to defraud).

"The investigation revealed Graham Ivan Clark, 17, was the mastermind of the recent h*ck of Twitter," the office said.

Mason Sheppard, aka “Chaewon,” 19, of Bognor Regis, U.K., and Nima Fazeli, aka “Rolex,” 22, of Orlando, were charged in California federal court.

Sheppard was charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud, conspiracy to commit money laundering, and the intentional access of a protected computer, and Fazeli was charged with aiding and abetting the intentional access of a protected computer.

"These crimes were perpetrated using the names of famous people and celebrities, but they're not the primary victims here," Warren said in a news release. "This 'Bit-Con' was designed to steal money from regular Americans from all over the country, including here in Florida. This massive fraud was orchestrated right here in our backyard, and we will not stand for that."

"There is a false belief within the criminal hacker community that attacks like the Twitter h*ck can be perpetrated anonymously and without consequence," said U.S. Attorney David Anderson in the DOJ's statement. "Today's charging announcement demonstrates that the elation of nefarious hacking into a secure environment for fun or profit will be short-lived."

On Wednesday, July 15, the hackers took control of the accounts of major public figures and corporations, including Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, Michael Bloomberg, Uber, and Apple.

They tweeted a scam asking for bitcoin and they received over $100,000 worth of Bitcoin in 500 transactions, with the scam said to be one of the largest ever on a social media site.

Twitter said the h*ck was the result of a phone spear-phishing attack that required access to both the site's internal network and employee credentials granting restricted access. The hacker was able to obtain passwords and other sensitive information from employees using illegitimate emails, the company said.

The company also said the attackers also accessed direct message inboxes of 36 accounts.

jadoo51: yes it is rooted in Africa culture to stigmatized any married woman who is yet to born children for many years of marriage.

Nollywood actress and talk show host, Tricia Eseigbe-Kerry welcomed a bouncing baby girl on July 14, 2020 after 10 years of childlessness.

In a recent interview with The Sun, the proud mother revealed how supportive her husband and in- laws were during her trying times.

“Fortunately, there was no pressure from my in-laws, my husband and family. I have a very superb family support system, which helped in coping as well. I know it is not the case with everyone and I would like to use this medium to plead with our society not to pressure women that are experiencing the same challenges like I did, because it is a very difficult journey which does not require unnecessary pressure from in-laws, family and friends. There are so many things physically, mentally and medically that these women are going through.

These are parts of the things that motivated me in setting up my foundation about women and children christened, Boldfaces Women & Children Development Initiative. I truly pray that people will give women that are looking for the fruits of the womb more positive support,” she said.

On how she pulled through the darkest days of childlessness, and the joys of motherhood, she says, ” it was 10 years of stigmatization, 10 years of ridicule, 10 years of unprecedented orthodox and traditional medical procedures, all in the quest to have a baby. But we thank God we are here to tell a positive story after this traumatic last 10 years. Be it physical, mental, spiritual, financial, psychological, anyway you can describe it; it wasn’t a pleasant journey. I managed to cope with my faith in God and His grace that strengthens me to this day.”

On motherhood she added, ” It is exciting; we give God all the glory. It is every woman’s dream and our society’s expectation that once you get married, you start having children. But the most important thing is that children are the next generation. I am happy.’
