Timothy Harris, The Prime minister of St. Kitts and Nevis, says alleged fraudster, Hushpuppi became a legal citizen of the country by marrying St.Kitts woman, Shawana, another citizen.
Harris claims that the alleged fraudster used the citizenship by investment option is false on monday statement.
Hushpuppi, whose real name is Ramon Olorunwa Abbas, married Shawana Nakesia Chapman, a 32-year-old citizen of St. Kitts and Nevis by birth and the United States of America, says the Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister said that “Ms Chapman, a resident of North Carolina, USA, married Mr Abbas in Nigeria in October 2018, thereby conferring him with the right to St. Kitts and Nevis citizenship,”
Any suggestion that citizenship was obtained through means other than marriage, such as the country’s citizenship by investment program, is therefore utterly false and willfully misleading.”
Ramon Olorunwa Abbas (Hushpuppi) was arraigned and charged with “conspiracy to commit money laundering”, Hushpuppi is being currently held at MCC, a US prison in Chicago.
