By Damilola A.

Instagram celebrity, Ismaila Mustapha, popularly known as Mompha, has finally spoken after meeting his bail conditions and regaining freedom from custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Mompha in a post on Thursday denied being involved in any kind of fraud, while he refuted claims that he is being wanted by the INTERPOL or FBI as suggested by some reports on the internet.

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.”

“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.”

In addition, Mompha stated that he does not know a Lebanese, Hamza Koudeih, who according to the EFCC is his accomplice.

“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!!!,” he said.
