Businessman, Ismaila Mustapha aka Mompha, has described the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, as a “useless” and corrupt organisation.
Mompha reacted sharply to the EFCC’s recent revelation that N35 billion was found in his bank accounts.
During the trial, Idi Musa, an EFCC investigator, testified that the funds were discovered in two accounts linked to Mompha.
Mompha, along with his company Ismalob Global Investment Limited, faces eight charges, including conspiracy to launder illegally obtained funds, retention of criminal proceeds, and failure to disclose assets.
The trial, ongoing since January 2022, saw new developments with the latest testimony from the EFCC’s witness.
It was reported that “The sixth prosecution witness, PW6, Idi Musa, in the trial of Ismaila Mustapha, (a.k.a Mompha) an investigator with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Monday, July 1, 2024, told Justice Mojisola Dada of the Special Offences Court sitting in Ikeja, Lagos how the sum of N35bn was found in two bank accounts linked to the defendant.
On January 12, 2022, the Lagos Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) arraigned Mompha and his company, Ismalob Global Investment Limited, on eight charges. These charges include conspiracy to launder unlawfully obtained funds, retaining proceeds from criminal activities, failure to disclose assets, and possession of fraudulent documents, among others.
Mompha, who reposted the writeup on Instagram wrote: “The most useless and corrupt Nigeria government agency @officialefcc ???.”
