A Nigerian influencer who posted photos of his life of luxury amassing 2.5 million Instagram followers was arrested by the FBI.
The FBI and Dubai police stormed the 37-year-old's apartment in the city seizing more than £30 million in cash, before the pair appeared in a Chicago court on July 3.
In June Ramon Olorunwa Abbas - known to his followers as Ray Hushpuppi - and another man - Jacob Ponle (aka Mr Woodberry) - were both arrested in Dubai under suspicion of a £350 million cyberscam.
A statement posted on Facebook, the Dubai police said that the FBI director had thanked them for extraditing Abbas.
However, the U.S. Department of Justice told the BBC that the accused was expelled from Dubai, rather than extradited, reportedly telling the broadcaster 'you'll have to ask them about why they called it an extradition'.
