EFCC Re-arrests Businessman Mompha On Allegations Of N6 Billion In Money Laundering
Ismaila Mustapha, also known as Mompha, a businessman with a following on social media, has been detained once again by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on suspicion of laundering N6 billion.
At the Ikeja Special Offenses Court on May 15, 2023, Suleiman Suleiman, the EFCC's attorney, revealed this.
He reportedly said as quoted by the Nigerian news agency NAN: "The prosecution would 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 an adjournment that he will be absent today in court."
Justice Mojisola Dada postponed the case to July 3, in order to continue the trial.
Recall that the EFCC had charged Mompha and his business, Ismalob Global Investment, on January 22, 2022, with eight counts of laundering N6 billion. In contrast, he entered a not guilty plea.
