A Gundam holding a gun, damn!

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has declared Dubai-based Nigerian socialite, Ismaila Mustapha, better known as Mompha, a wanted person.

The agency, in a Twitter post, called on members of the public with information on his whereabouts to speak up.

The EFCC in their tweet wrote:

“Wanted by the EFCC: Ismaila Mustapha. Anyone with useful information as to his whereabouts should contact the EFCC or the nearest police station.”

Mompha and his company Ismalob Global Investment Ltd were arraigned by the commission over alleged N6 billion fr@ud on January 12. A fresh eight-count charge was brought against him.

He was remanded in the custody of the EFCC but later granted a bail of N200 million which he couldn’t fulfill. The bail sum was later slashed to N25 million.

The EFCC had, on June 10, accused Mompha of flouting a court order by traveling to Dubai with a new passport. On June 22, a Lagos court revoked the bail granted to him after his absence for trial.
