Mompha blasts EFCC over N35bn money laundering charges
Famous Nigerian businessman, Ismaila Mustapha, popularly known as Mompha, has described the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC), as a “useless” and corrupt government agency.

Mompha’s outburst was in response to the EFCC’s recent report that a staggering N35 billion was discovered in his bank account.
A prosecution witness, Idi Musa and an investigator with the EFCC testified in court during the week that the money was found in two bank accounts linked to Mompha.
Recalls that Mompha is charged alongside his company, Ismalob Global Investment Limited for money laundering.
