Socialite and businessman Ismaila Mustapha, popularly known as Mompha, has reacted to reports that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has had its money laundering charges against him dismissed by a Lagos court.
Online reports claim that Justice Mojisola Dada of the Ikeja Special Offences Court discharged Mompha of the allegations, ruling that the charges amounted to an abuse of judicial process and forum shopping.
Reacting to the development, Mompha described the reported outcome as a victory at last, saying his battle against what he termed victimisation, harassment and intimidation, which began in 2019, had finally ended in his favour.
The businessman disclosed that his ordeal began when he arrived in Nigeria in 2019 with plans to invest in the country’s economy but was allegedly accosted by the EFCC, an incident he claimed disrupted his life for more than seven years without justification.
He added that after years of legal battles, his legal team had finally secured a favourable outcome.
Expressing excitement over the development, Mompha thanked his Maker, family and friends for standing by him throughout the legal battle.
He wrote …
“VICTORY AT LAST!!
A battle of victimisation, harassment and intimidation that started in 2019 has finally ended in victory.
It all started when I came into the country in 2019 with the intention of investing in the economy but was accosted by the EFCC on trumped-up charges, which halted my life for over seven (7) years without any justification. But after a long battle by my legal team, today, 10th November, 2026, judgment was delivered in my case with a favourable outcome, as the Court struck out the entire charges filed against me as an abuse of court process and forum shopping.
From the beginning, it was obvious that the charges filed against me by EFCC were baseless and a complete witch-hunt calculated to oppress me for no just cause. I thank the judiciary, and the judge who handled the case, for seeing through the frivolous suit filed against me by EFCC.
Now I can have my freedom and peace, as this judgment has vindicated me.
I thank Almighty Allah, my friends and family, who stood by me and, most importantly, my team of lawyers, comprising Gboyega Oyewole SAN, Kolawole Salami, and Ademola Adefolaju, for all their efforts from the commencement of this case up until this judgment.
I have always maintained my innocence and believe that, in the long run, I will be victorious despite the tribulations, and the same has been confirmed with today’s judgment in my favour. Special thanks to my lawyers @adefolajuademola @kolybuster and shame on you @officialefcc Losers”.
