Mompha Vs EFCC: Explosive War Of Words Over N35 Billion Scandal
Mompha Vs EFCC: Explosive War Of Words Over N35 Billion ScandalThe Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has fired back at popular businessman Ismaila Mustapha, also known as Mompha, after he labeled the organization “useless” and corrupt.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
According to Naija News, the EFCC’s response follows their claim that a staggering N35 billion was found in Mompha’s bank accounts.
Mompha, who is currently facing money laundering charges from the EFCC, took to Instagram to write, “The most useless and corrupt Nigeria government agency @officialefcc.”
In a statement issued by the Head of Media & Publicity, Dele Oyewale, the EFCC challenged Mompha to provide evidence supporting his allegations of corruption.
The statement read, “The attention of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has been drawn to the malicious and unsubstantiated statement made by the embattled Ismaila Mustapha, (a.k.a Mompha), alleging corruption by operatives of the Commission.
“The claim, coming from an accused in a criminal trial for conspiracy to launder funds obtained through unlawful activity, retention of proceeds of criminal activities, and failure to disclose assets and property, ought to be ignored as the rantings of a sinking defendant. But his claims strike at the heart of the Commission’s most prized value – integrity and must be challenged.
“The Commission is alarmed that the accused will abandon the platform offered by the court to launch a media war against it through spurious claims. If he believes that raising phantom accusations against the Commission will scare it from diligently prosecuting his case, he is mistaken, as no amount of scaremongering will deter the Commission from pursuing the case to its logical conclusion.
“While Mompha may just be a drowning man clutching at any straw owing to the overwhelming evidence of his involvement in the money laundering case, his unsubstantiated claims against the EFCC are an issue the Commission is taking seriously.
“To this end, the Executive Chairman of the EFCC, Mr. Ola Olukoyede, has directed that Mompha be invited to bring forth concrete evidence of any corruption within the Commission. Additionally, the socialite should also justify his labeling of the EFCC as a ‘useless agency’ with evidential proofs.
“As a responsible law enforcement agency, the EFCC would not sit back and allow libelous effusions against its reputation to go unchallenged. Mompha, to all intents and purposes, cannot be expected to paint the EFCC in bright colors owing to the professional ways officers of the Commission are handling his matter. The EFCC would not be distracted from doing its job by antics of traducers like Mompha.
“The general public is, therefore, advised to ignore his ranting. Mompha should rather face his prosecution before a court of competent jurisdiction.”

Formal Agreement: The two agencies signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Friday, July 17, 2026, at the NDLEA headquarters.

Economic and Social Impact: NCC Director-General, Dr. John Asein, emphasized that organized piracy is a major criminal enterprise that undermines Nigeria’s creative economy, destroys jobs, and weakens national security.
-
Intersecting Supply Chains: Both agencies identified that the same clandestine networks, transportation routes, and financial channels used for drug trafficking are frequently utilized to distribute pirated goods and launder criminal proceeds.
-
Inter-Agency Synergy: The leadership of both organizations highlighted the importance of moving away from isolated operations toward a collaborative model that leverages the specific expertise and intelligence capabilities of each agency.
The initiative aims to more effectively disrupt illegal supply chains, dismantle criminal structures, and protect both the creative sector and the general public from the influence of organized crime.
