Ismaila Mustapha, also known as Mompha, is a socialite and businessman who has responded to reports that a Lagos court dismissed the money laundering charges brought against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
According to online reports, Mompha was cleared of the accusations by Justice Mojisola Dada of the Ikeja Special Offenses Court, who determined that the charges amounted to forum shopping and an abuse of the legal system.
In response to the development, Mompha called the reported result a “victory at last,” claiming that his fight against what he called “victimization, harassment, and intimidation,” which started in 2019, had finally come to an end.
“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”.
Though I don’t know Mompha personally, I’m genuinely happy for him. After a seven-year legal battle, this is a victory at last. Congratulations! I join you in thanking God for you, this is truly a moment for celebration and thanksgiving.
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
One ❤️❤️❤️
