BREAKING: EFCC Re-arrests Mompha For Alleged Money Laundering

  • EFCC re-arrests Mompha

Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have re-arrested media influencer, Ismaila Mustapha, aka Mompha over charges bordering on money laundering.

Mompha was re-arrested last Friday when he went to the EFCC office in Ikoyi, Lagos and has been charged before the Federal High Court.

It was reported that Mompha was arrested after he visited the EFCC office to claim the item seized from him during his previous trial.

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
