The arrest of Mompha and his Lebanese associate is a landmark achievement - EFCC boss, Magu

Acting Chairman of the EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, has described the recent arrest of alleged internet fraudster, Ismaila Mustapha, also known as Mompha and his Lebanese accomplice, Hamza Koudeih, as a landmark achievement in the sustained fight against internet-related frauds and money laundering in the country.

Magu said the arrest of Mompha and Hamza by operatives of the EFCC, bore testimony to the commitment of the Commission to the fight against internet-related frauds,. He added that “it is also a red alert to potential internet fraudsters.”

Speaking during an interactive session with stakeholders at the Lagos Zonal office of the Commission on Thursday, Magu said actionable intelligence received from local and international law enforcement agencies had revealed that the suspects, alongside their collaborators, were high-valued targets in Organized Cyber Syndicate Network, OCSN.

According to him, “the recent arrests of a social media celebrity, Ismaila Mustapha, popularly known as Mompha, and his Lebanese collaborator, Hamza Koudeih, for their alleged involvement in internet-related fraud and money laundering remain a landmark achievement of the EFCC.

“I make bold to tell you that these arrests have further confirmed our commitment to the anti-graft war, while also sending a red alert to potential internet fraudsters.

I am sure you will be greatly shocked to know that five wristwatches valued at over N60million were recovered from the suspected internet fraudster, Mompha, at the point of arrest.

“Investigation has also revealed that he operates 51 bank s in Nigeria with which he acquires properties in Dubai and had laundered about N14billion through a firm known as Ismalob Global Investments Limited.

“His accomplice, Koudeih, also has two firms namely: THK Services Limited and CHK properties Limited with which he has allegedly laundered about N19billion. Koudeih lives in a $5million per annum suite at the Eko Atlantic Pearl Tower, Victoria Island Lagos. “

The EFCC Chair also stated that the Commission had begun forensic analysis of the phones, documents and “strange” items recovered from both suspects. “They will be charged to court accordingly as soon as investigation is concluded,” he added.

Magu also emphasized the fact that the Commission, prior to the arrests of both Mompha and Koudeih, had independently launched intensive investigative actions against the Internet fraudsters, popularly known as Yahoo Yahoo Boys, culminating in various strategic raids on their hideouts. He further stated that the Commission had embarked on the raids even before the recently concluded collaborative operation with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI, tagged Operation Rewired- an international operation targeted at the Business Email Compromise, BEC, suspects across the world.

Magu added that “From January to date, the Lagos office of EFCC has made over 300 arrests, secured 207 convictions and recovered a good number of exotic cars. In addition, several properties suspected to have been acquired through the proceeds of crime were sealed.”

Kudos

Not yet until you arrest that bullion van criminal

EFCC against politicians:

Is it foolishness or stupidity? Mompha is into crime, yet he flaunts the money publicly buying latest cars that even Dangote will not buy just impress people that don’t care.

Now I believe there’s a natural spirit pursuing everyone involved in crime of any type and it will catch up one day.

A great lesson for everyone!

Ok

EFCC go use them shine


only for court to release them on bail, and after few court sessions free them with light sentencing

EFCC only wants your loot and nothing more, if you surrender they would even help you negotiate a plea bargain

..

Waka jeje inside life

Hushpuppi is still forming hard guy, posting videos and still keeps saying rubbish on his instastory. The day he would be caught there would be nation wide celebration. I trust Nigerians!

Someone should remind Magu that EFCC was established to deal with corrupt politicians and civil servants not yahoo boys. Misplaced priorities.......
