The Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission, INEC, on Tuesday said Instagram celebrity, Ismaila Mustapha
popularly called Mompha did not bribe his way out of its custody.
EFCC disclosed that Mompha was
arrested for alleged internet fraud and money laundering recently at the Nnamdi
Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja.
The anti-graft agency made the
disclosure in a series of tweets titled: “Alleged Internet fraud, Money
Laundering: EFCC Arrests Ismaila Mustapha, a.k.a Mompha.
Several weeks after his arrest,
there were claims that Mompha bribed his way out of EFCC’s custody.
A twitter user, Azeez
Soneye@azeezsoneye99, had asked the whereabout of Mompha.
“Where are we on Mompha’s case? I
@segalink @channelstv Why did @officialEFCC delete all posts relating to
Mompha’s arrest. A random online post reveals that he’s settling (bribing) his
way out. Clear the air in this pls @officialEFCC God bless Naija.”
However, EFCC charged Nigerians
to disregard the claim of Mompha bribing his way out of custody.
In a tweet, EFCC wrote: “This
information about Mompha “bribing” his way out is false and MUST be
disregarded.
“Ismaila Mustapha A.K.A. Mompha
is still being remanded on court orders and will soon be arraigned.
