Popular socialite, Ismaila Mustapha widely known as Mompha, has debunked reports of a fresh arrest made by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC)
Recall that on Monday, May 15, 2023, EFCC had told the court in Ikeja, Lagos that an arrest had been made on Mompha to face the trial after he allegedly fled while his case was ongoing.
Mompha and his company were charged to court on a six billion naira money laundering offence alongside other charges.
In reaction to the news, Mompha in an Instagram Live video, debunked the news of his arrest. He stated that the commission is lying and should desist from such means to mislead the public.
He stated that he is currently not in the country and he is home in Dubai with his family where he is safe from the humiliation and harassment by the commission.
Mompha said, “I want to use this medium to expose the corrupt and mischievous commission again that I was neither rearrested nor am in the custody of the EFCC.
“This assertion by the EFCC is laughable because I am currently not in Nigeria more or less rearrested either in Nigeria.”
