Interpol has confirmed the arrest of Instagram celebrity, Ramoni Igbalode aka Hushpuppi, which occurred in Dubai.

This was confirmed by the Commissioner of Police (CP) Interpol, Garba Umar, who spoke to The Nation yesterday.

The Interpol CP also revealed that Hushpuppi will be extradited to Nigeria from Dubai to answer for some fraud allegations against him.

“It is true that Hushpuppi was arrested by the INTERPOL. We are currently working on bringing him to Nigeria to face charges of fraud.

“Some of the offences were committed here in Nigeria and he has to answer for them. He is not alone in it; there are accomplices in the country who we are currently on their trail", Umar said.

Hushpuppi became popular as a result of his display of wealth and flamboyance on social media.

His Instagram page is flooded with pictures of different Rolls Royce, Ferrari and Bentley which he owns.

His influence grew to the point that he dined with lawmakers in the Nigerian National Assembly e.g Senator Dino Melaye and Former Speaker Yakubu Dogara.
