The items were, wristwatches, one Apple Air pod, one iPhone 8 mobile phones and one pair of sunglasses
Following an application by his lawyer, Mr. Gboyega Oyewole (SAN), Justice Mohammed Liman, on July 24, ordered the EFCC to release the items to Mompha.
The judge ruled since the items were not listed as exhibits in the money laundering charges filed against Mompha, and dismissed the case against the high profiled personality.
“Failure to release the property is illegal. As of today, no charge has been file regarding the items. It is too long to withhold the applicant’s properties,” the judge had held.
Ekohotblog gathered that after Mompha had left the premises of the EFCC in Ikoyi, claiming the items on Friday, operatives of the EFCC went after him, and re-arrested him
