Although Kyari lost his mother, Yachilla Kyari, on May 5, 2024, it is not clear if it formed part of the reasons for granting him bail.
In 2021, Kyari was indicted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the case of
alleged international Internet fraudster Ramon Abbas, aka, Hushpuppi.
Kyari was later arrested by the NDLEA in February 2020 for alleged drug-related offences. He has since been remanded at the Kuje prison in Abuja.
