Hushpuppi whose real name is Ramon Olorunwa Abbas, has been in the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) in Chicago, Illinois USA to await trial since 6 July after he was extradited from Dubai where the police and FBI arrested him.
However, the update on Hushpuppi's record obtained by BBC Pidgin from BOP.gov Federal Bureau of Prisons website on Thursday morning shows that the popular Instagram influencer was no longer on the MCC Chicago inmate record again, in fact the record shows that he was released on 20th July.
However, Hushpuppi's lawyer Gal Pissetzky told local media that they only transfer his client from Chicago to California, not that he is now a free man.
Although the court has not found him guilty of the charges, Hushpuppi still has criminal cases to answer for in California.
Pissetzky, a Chicago top criminal lawyer, told The PUNCH on Wednesday night that:
"He (Hushpuppi) has not been released and I am still his lawyer. He is on his way to California. Not everything written on court documents are accurate."
"Just because the jail record says 'released' doesn't mean he has been. He is being transferred to California." The lawyer told PUNCH correspondent on the phone.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons uploaded Hushpuppi's name on the BOP website on Monday night, 6 July, 2020 .
Di prison put Hushpuppi prison registration number, 54313-424, wey go make pipo fit search am for BOP website.

US Department of Justice will transfer the 37-year-old Hushpuppi to Los Angeles to face criminal charges in the coming weeks, according to BBC Pidgin.
