The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) made a significant breakthrough yesterday as they announced the re-arrest of the infamous social media celebrity Ismaila Mustapha, popularly known as Mompha.
Mompha is facing charges of money laundering amounting to ₦6 billion. The EFCC counsel, Suleiman Suleiman, revealed during a session at the Ikeja Special Offences Court that, in collaboration with international partners, they had successfully apprehended the defendant.
This development follows Mompha's earlier failure to appear before the court, which prompted the commencement of his trial in absentia.
