EFCC Rearrests Mompha On Alleged Money Laundering

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Monday stated that the social media celebrity, Ismaila Mustapha (popularly known as Mompha), charged with N6 billion money laundering had been re-arrested.

The EFCC counsel, Mr Suleiman Suleiman, told an Ikeja Special Offences Court that the prosecution in collaboration with its international partners had arrested Mompha.

“The prosecution will like to bring to the knowledge of my lord that in collaboration with our international partners, we have been able to apprehend the defendant.

“We plan to take him into custody and to produce him before the court.

“The counsel for the defendant reached out to me seeking for an adjournment that he will be absent today in court,” Suleiman stated.

Justice Mojisola Dada, thereafter, adjourned the case until July 3 for continuation of trial.
