The Lagos High Court sitting in the Ikeja area has admitted two documents into evidence tendered by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) containing an investigative report on the iPhone of Internet celebrity Ismaila Mustapha, popularly known as Mompha, claiming it was used for fraudulent practices.
The trial judge, Justice Mojisola Dada, admitted the documents tendered by the EFCC at the proceedings on Monday. The reports are a letter by the EFCC to the United States of America’s Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and a report by the Bureau.
It should be recalled that in January 12, 2022, the EFCC arraigned Mompha alongside his company, Ismalob Global Investment, on an eight-count charge bordering on conspiracy to launder funds obtained through unlawful activity, retention of proceeds of criminal conduct, laundering of funds obtained through unlawful activity, failure to disclose assets and property, possession of documents containing false pretence and use of property derived from an unlawful act.
