Ismaila Mustapha, popularly known as Mompha, has vehemently criticized the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), calling it “useless” and corrupt.
This follows recent testimony in court by an EFCC investigator, Idi Musa, claiming that N35 billion was found in bank accounts linked to Mompha.
Mompha is currently on trial for money laundering charges alongside his company, Ismalob Global Investment Limited.
The EFCC’s ongoing case against Mompha began in January 2022 and includes charges such as conspiracy to launder funds, retention of proceeds of criminal conduct, and failure to disclose assets.
Reacting to the EFCC’s claim, Mompha took to Instagram to repost the news, criticizing the government agency harshly.
The trial, being heard at the Special Offences Court in Ikeja, Lagos, has attracted attention due to the significant sums involved and the allegations against Mompha.
His criticism of the EFCC underscores the contentious nature of the case and ongoing legal proceedings.
