- Socialite Mompha was displeased with the allegations of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) against him

- He got a response from EFCC and was accused of trying to dodge the case but he didn’t back down and slammed the institution further
Nigerian socialite, Ismaila Mustapha, aka Mompha, has reacted bitterly to the claims of money laundering labeled against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The anti-graft agency stated that N35 billion was found in his two accounts by their investigator, Idi Musa, the sixth prosecution witness of the case.

In his response, Mompha, the chief executive officer of Mompha Bureau De Change, stated that the organisation was the most corrupt and useless in Nigeria. This accusation got to the body which sent a long rebuttal while praising its works.
The EFCC described Mompha’s statement as malicious and substantiated. It reiterated that the socialite was accused in a criminal trial for conspiracy to launder funds obtained through unlawful activity.
Mompha was not done with firing back at the EFCC as he described the commission as useless and further slammed the chairman of the body, Olanipekun Olukoyede.
He also stated that for the commission to respond to his social media posts, it shows they were jobless and wasting taxpayers’ money. Besides, he asked the commission to produce the person he laundered money for and the evidence.

Mompha buys house for son
TheTalk.NG earlier reported that Mompha was certainly not here for the people telling him how to raise his son and he’s wasting no time in letting them know.
Recall that Mompha had acquired a house for his little son in Dubai to honour his 6th birthday.
The news caused quite a stir on social media as many people felt it was unnecessary to spend such an amount on a child. People felt he should have invested the money in his education.
