The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Lagos State Command, has said that it has re-arrested Dubai-based internet celebrity, Ismailia Mustapha, popularly known as Mompha for alleged money laundering.

The EFCC, in a statement released by its Head of Media and Publicity, Wilson Uwujaren, said Mompha was taken into custody on Monday.

It said this followed suspicion that Mompha was laundering funds obtained through unlawful activities and had also retained alleged proceeds of crime.

Mompha is standing trial at the Federal High Court in Lagos alongside his company, Ismalob Global Investment Limited on an amended 22-count bordering on cyberfraud and money laundering to the tune of N32.9bn brought against him by the EFCC.
