Mompha Mocks EFCC As He Debunks The Claim That He Was Rearrested By Efcc

By Agboola Ibrahim

Social media celebrity, Ibrahim Mustapha, popularly known as Mompha, has written a long letter to gloat over the Economic Financial Crime Commission, EFCC, and also to debunk the claim that he has been arrested for money laundering.

Recall a few days ago, Nigerian media reported that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) re-arrested Mompha over #6bn money laundering allegations.

In a bid to refute the rumor, Mompha made a live video to persuade people to turn deaf ears to the rumor. In the video, he was seem dancing hysterically.

Moreover, in his relatively long letter, Mompha describes the EFCC's claim of his arrest as laughable. This is because they have resorted to using his name and influence to buy themselves popularity.

His post read:
Mompha said; “IDAN WAS NOT REARRESTED BY EFCC; 33BG IS NOT IN EFCC CUSTODY Contrary to the recent publication in most media platforms in Nigeria that I, Mompha was rearrested by the EFCC.

I want to use this medium to expose the corrupt and mischievous commission again that I was neither rearrested nor am I in the custody of the EFCC. This assertion by the EFCC is laughable because I am currently not in Nigeria talk more of being rearrested in Nigeria. I hereby urge the commission to desist from this insensible media trial and stop misleading people through the press/media that I am in your custody and would produce me before the Court on the 3rd of July. It has now become very clear that the only motive of the EFCC is to witch-hunt me and use my name MOMPHA to trend anytime they are looking for cheap media relevance.

One would think Mompha would be the least of their worries during this period of change in government and occupy themselves with the task of going after the corrupt politicians who are impoverishing the ordinary Nigerians.

I want to thank my teeming fans, well-wishershers, who are concerned about my well-being and safety and I want to assure you all that I and my family are fine and currently enjoying ourselves in Dubai, away from the intimidation and harassment of the EFCC and the corrupt Nigeria judicial system.
