Alleged N6bn fraud: EFCC declares Mompha wanted

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has declared internet celebrity, Ismaila Mustapha aka Mompha, wanted.

The commission had earlier arraigned Mompha and his company, Ismalob Global Investment Limited, on an eight-count charge of money laundering and conspiracy, among others.

Justice Mojisola Dada of the Lagos State Special Offences Court, Ikeja, on June 22 issued a bench warrant for the defendant’s arrest after he failed to appear in court for continuation of his trial for alleged N6 billion fraud.

The EFCC’s Head of Media and Publicity, Wilson Uwujaren, announced this in a notice on Wednesday in Abuja.
