Many Nigerians on Twitter have been reacting to the news since the video went viral, sharing their varying opinions.

Others blasted Twitter users who celebrated the arrest of Hushpuppi, tagging them as ‘haters’.

Meanwhile, a controversial self-acclaimed investigative journalist, Kemi Olunloyo has claimed that Hushpuppi and his friends are on their way to America after their supposed arrest.

In an Instagram post, she wrote;

BREAKING UPDATE Woodberry and Hushpuppi implicated by the Secret Service in a Nigerian Unemployment Insurance scam named Scattered Canary.

For those who do not know what this is, this is money the US government gives us monthly when we lose our jobs while we are looking for another. Somehow the Nigerian ring cracked into the system and filed 174+ fraudulent claims. People’s COVID-19 stimulus payments gone.

It is too elaborate. Only thing I can say is everyday for the thieves, one day for the owner. It is a dark day in Nigeria. HushPuppi and Woodberry and others are on their way to America. I was also told that their properties have been sealed with warrants.

However, as at the time of filing this report, no official statement from the FBI or Interpol was released by the security agencies.
