FBI kidnapped Nigerian Instagrammer from Dubai, says Hushpuppi's lawyer

Nigerian man accused of multimillion-dollar fraud and money laundering by the United States was kidnapped by the FBI from Dubai.

Ramon Olorunwa Abbas - known to his 2.5 million Instagram devotees as Ray Hushpuppi - and another digital heist suspect Olalekan Jacob Ponle (otherwise known as Mr Woodberry) were captured in Dubai, where they lived, in June.

They at that point showed up in a Chicago court on 3 July.

The United Arab Emirates has no removal bargain with the United States yet Dubai police said they had been removed to the US.

A representative for the US Department of Justice told the BBC that Hushpuppi was removed from Dubai and was not removed. He didn't answer how he wound up in US authority.

What does Hushpuppi's attorney state?

Mr Abbas' legal advisor Gal Pissetzky told the BBC that his customer, who posts on Instagram about his lavish way of life, was not a lawbreaker and had brought in his cash truly.

"He is an online networking influencer with a huge number of adherents, with a large number of individuals that regard and adored him, and he cherished them, and that is the thing that he did. In the present society, that is a business," he said.

Mr Pissetzky concedes that he isn't "100% recognizable" with web based life and his kids think of him as excessively old yet he knows "that is the means by which individuals bring in cash today".
