On Friday, 18 October, Mompha was arrested by the EFCC at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport while trying to leave Nigeria for Dubai.
He was charged with fraud, which he pleaded not guilty to, and later released on a 100 million Naira bail.
He has now shared his thoughts on the case, shedding more light on the case and thanking friends and family for sticking by him through the case.
He took to his newly restored Instagram page to share an update on the matter.
He wrote:
“In every situation you find urself prayer is the only Key!! l was arrested on October 18, 2019, by Efcc, not Interpol or Fbi, No Interpol or Fbi is looking for me cos I don’t know where all these stories are coming from and the order of my arrest came from one of their head in Lagos because he has my travel details, which I asked what was my offence but he told me till u get to Lagos when I got to Lagos on October 19, 2019, he showed me my bank statement and ask me about the funds which came to my account btw 2015 to 2017 which I defended all.
“To my greatest surprise, the next thing they did was to post that I was involved in internet fraud, BEC, cyber fraud and also 51 bank accounts which such never happened and it went viral worldwide what kind of country are we in nothing like investigation they tried to tarnish my image but God pass them, I was in their custody for 40days which no evidence of fraud was found on me.
“After my lawyer sued them for keeping me for long on 22nd of November they gave me my charge sheet for 14 counts of money laundering ? on a Legit Business I did wit a mobile company in Nigeria Now I know its a crime to be a Nigerian, I was shock when I came out to see people calling me different names like fraudster, Criminal, Yahoo boy which I have never defraud anyone or steal from anyone also no petition on me or anyone or company reported me, They did this to me because of Hate, Enviness, Jealousy…
“First, I need to clear the air on something I met Hamza the Lebanese guy on October 24th 2019 at Efcc office for the first time in my life and also Kayode Philips I don’t know why they have to lie that he is my partner and my accomplice ? why all these lies just to bring me down But now am Stronger and wiser!!!
“May Almighty Allah Help me in this Big situation (Amin). Now the whole world knows what they charge me for as the case is in court and my trial has begin!!! Special Thanks to my Strong wife and my family and my Real friends who stood by me during this trial of life *love*”
