The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has
declared Ismaila Mustapha, the socialite better known as Mompha, a wanted
person.
The anti-graft agency, in a Twitter post, called on member
of the public with information on his whereabouts to speak up.
“Wanted by the EFCC: Ismaila Mustapha. Anyone with useful
information as to his whereabouts should contact the EFCC or the nearest police
station,” the EFCC wrote.

The commission added: “The general public is hereby notified
that ISMAILA MUSTAPHA, whose photograph appears above, is wanted by the EFCC in
an alleged case of Retention of Proceeds of Criminal Conduct, Possession of

“Ismaila, 38, hails from Ogbomosho Local Govt Area of Oyo
State.
“His last know address: 21, Fagbenro Street, Idi-Araba,

“Anybody with useful information as to his whereabouts
should please contact the Commission in its Benin, Kaduna, Ibadan, Sokoto,
Gombe, Maiduguri, Makurdi, llorin, Enugu, Kano, Lagos, Gombe, Port Harcourt and

Mompha and his company Ismalob Global Investment Ltd were
arraigned by the commission over alleged N6 billion fraud on January 12.
A fresh eight-count charge was brought against him.
He was remanded in the custody of the EFCC but later granted
a bail of N200 million which he couldn’t fulfill.
The bail sum was later slashed to N25 million.
The EFCC had, on June 10, accused Mompha of flouting a court
order by traveling to Dubai with a new passport.
On June 22, a Lagos court revoked the bail granted to him
after the controversial socialite’s absence for trial.
