COVID-19: U.S Court Postpones Hushpuppi’s Trial To 2021

 

 

 

The trial of Nigerian embattled Instagram big boy, Hushpuppi, has been moved to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to the chambers orders of Judge Otis Wright released September 23, the jury trial will continue by 9:00 a.m. on May 4, 2021.

Hushpuppi is facing a four-count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, money laundering conspiracies, international money laundering and engaging in monetary transactions in property derived from specified unlawful activity.

In June, the 37-year-old Mr Abbas, also known as Hushpuppi, who is known for flaunting his opulent lifestyle on social media, was arrested in Dubai by some special operatives including the Emerati police officers and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) operatives.
