Abba Kyari: ‘No Difference Between Hushpuppi, Buhari, Tinubu’ – Reno Omokri

Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, on Sunday claimed that there is no difference between President Muhammadu Buhari, the national leader of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu and internet fraudster, Ramon Abbas, popularly known as Hushpuppi.

Omokri in a post on his Twitter account alleged that while the Instagram celebrity is defrauding people and using their money to bribe a deputy commissioner of police, Abba Kyari, he added that the source of the billions of Naira spent by the former governor of Lagos State for the presidential election of President Buhari in 2015 and 2019 remains unknown.

Recall that the United States Department of Justice claimed that Hushpuppi who pleaded guilty to the charges levelled against him allegedly bribed the Nigerian super cop to arrest one Kelly Chibuzo Vincent, one of his accomplices in Nigeria.

Kyari, however, denied the allegations levelled against him but noted that he referred the internet fraudster to his tailor which Hushpuppi allegedly made payments.

Meanwhile, the Inspector-General of Police on Sunday ordered the suspension of Abba Kyari to allow a thorough investigation into the matter.

Omokri in a post on his Twitter account wrote, “What is the difference between Abba Kyari and Buhari? Hushpuppi stole money and used it to bribe Kyari.”

“Where did Bola Tinubu get the money he used to instal Buhari? Until we deal with the crooks at the top, we will continue to be the laughing stock of the world.”

He further emphasized that Premiere Academy wholeheartedly carried out its expected responsibilities in taking care of Keren in all facets especially health-wise until the last day she left the school in a healthy condition as opposed to allegations that she was in an unhealthy state when she left the school.

In his words, “since Keren’s admission, the school managed her Type-1 Diabetes by administering the two times daily dose of Insulin injection with a controlled-diet which helped to maintain her blood glucose level until the day she was released to her mother on Saturday, 19 June, 2021.”

Additionally, he said that as a school that cares so much about its students’ well being mobilized and visited Keren at the hospital the day it learned of her hospitalization at Queens Hospital Wuse 2, Abuja, and has also visited the family repeatedly since her death.

Premiere Academy disclosed that it got to know about the alleged sexual molestation of Miss. Keren Akpagher in the media because it was never mentioned throughout its interaction with Mrs. Akpagher – Keren’s mother while Keren was hospitalized.

However, according to the acting principal Mr. Akinsonwon, the school swung into action by constituting an Internal Investigation Panel to probe the allegation and if anyone is found culpable he will be handed over to the police. In his words, “the school has honoured invitations from the Nigerian Police and we are cooperating with them to unravel the cause of Keren’s death.”

The Acting Principal stated that the school witnessed the Autopsy exercise and is waiting for the report. “As a school, we are fully committed to unravelling the cause of Keren’s death and we want justice for Late Miss. Keren-Happuch Akpagher if the allegations concerning her death are anything to go by.”

In a recent development, the Acting Principal responded to a Facebook post by an activist with the caption; “Unmasking Adams Idris: A Suspected Peadophile at Premiere Academy.” He stated that Premiere Academy is not a place for peadophiles and further asserted that any publication or post that does not emanate from the School’s Management or Board of Governors is not a representation of the school on the alleged cause of Keren’s death. According to Mr. Akinsonwon the school will deem it necessary to always inform the public as the event unfolds.

In his words; “Premiere Academy is safe for all students and over time we have demonstrated zero tolerance for sexual harassment of any kind – verbal or physical. This is evident in the suspension and subsequent dismissal of a staff member who was culpable of being involved in an “unguarded talk” with a student. “The police-ordered autopsy procedure report is not out, and as a school, we are waiting for the autopsy report.”

“We, therefore, enjoin all concerned stakeholders to patiently wait for the autopsy report.
