Popular businessman, Ismaila Mustapha aka Mompha, has described the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, as a “useless” and corrupt organisation.
Mompha’s outburst was in response to the EFCC’s recent
report that a staggering N35 billion was discovered in his bank account.
A prosecution witness, Idi Musa and an investigator with the
EFCC testified in court that the money was found in two bank accounts linked to
Mompha.
Musa spoke in the ongoing trial of Mompha, who is facing
money laundering charges alongside his company, Ismalob Global Investment Limited.
The anti-graft agency had arraigned Mompha on an eight-count
charge, including conspiracy to launder funds obtained through unlawful
activity, retention of proceeds of criminal conduct, and failure to disclose
assets and property, among others.
Mompha’s trial has been ongoing since January 2022, with the
recent testimony from the EFCC’s witness shedding new light on the case.
It was reported that “The sixth prosecution witness, PW6,
Idi Musa, in the trial of Ismaila Mustapha, (a.k.a Mompha) an investigator with
the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Monday, July 1, 2024,
told Justice Mojisola Dada of the Special Offences Court sitting in Ikeja,
Lagos how the sum of N35bn was found in two bank accounts linked to the
defendant.
The Lagos Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission, EFCC, had, on January 12, 2022, arraigned Mompha alongside his
company, Ismalob Global Investment Limited, on an eight-count charge bordering
on conspiracy to launder funds obtained through unlawful activity, retention of
proceeds of criminal conduct, laundering of funds obtained through unlawful
activity, failure to disclose assets and property, possession of documents
containing false pretences and use of property derive from unlawful act.”
Reposting the writeup, Mompha wrote on Instagram: “The most
useless and corrupt Nigeria government agency @officialefcc ???.”
