Nollywood actress, Uche Jombo and media personality, Toolz, have shared their reactions to details about the arrest of social media celebrities, Hushpuppi and Woodberry, which was released by the Dubai police on Thursday.
Hushpuppi, Woodberry and eleven others were arrested for alleged 150 million dirhams (N168 billion) fraud.
According to a video shared Dubai media office on Twitter on Thursday, they were tracked and arrested in an operation code-named ‘Fox Hunt 2’ with huge sums of money, cars, mobile phones, and other gadgets confiscated from them.

On June 10 when Hushpuppi’s arrest was first reported, a fan joked that Toolz had asked the social media celebrity for a giveaway in the past.
She denied it, writing, “haha, may the gods slap me silly if that was me.”
