    EFCC Re-arrests Mompha Over Alleged Money Laundering


    Instagram Celebrity, Ismaila Mustapha, popularly known as Mompha, has been re-arrested by the Economic and
    Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over charges of money laundering.

    Mompha is facing charges before the Federal High Court and following an application by his lawyer, Mr Gboyega Oyewole (SAN), Justice Mohammed Liman on July 24, ordered the EFCC to release items belonging to Mompha.

    These items include; five wristwatches, one Apple Air pod, one iPhone 8 mobile phones and one pair of sunglasses seized from him by the anti-graft agency.

    Justice Liman ruled that since the items were not listed as exhibits in the money laundering charges filed against Mompha, the EFCC had no right to continue holding onto them.

    He also dismissed the submission by the EFCC that Mompha was still under investigation for another offence, saying there was nothing before the court to back the submission.

    Justice Liman had said;
    “Failure to release the property is illegal. As of today, no charge has been filed regarding the items. It is too long to withhold the applicant properties.”

    However, Mompha was re-arrested on Friday, August 14, when he went to the EFCC office in Ikoyi, Lagos to reclaim his properties.

    It was gathered Mompha had barely left the premises of the EFCC office, after collecting the items, when operatives of the anti-graft agency waylaid him and returned him into custody.
