A Fidelity Bank compliance officer, Ezekoli Ozoemenam, took the stand on May 20th as the fourth prosecution witness in the money laundering trial against social media personality Ismaila Mustapha, better known as Mompha. Mompha is accused of laundering N6 billion.
Ozoemenam testified about a bank account allegedly connected to Mompha. The prosecution presented the account documents as evidence, but the defense reserved their right to object later.
The prosecution requested a witness summons to compel the appearance of their next witness, citing safety concerns and threats received. However, Judge Mojisola Dada emphasized the prosecution’s responsibility for ensuring witness attendance.
Mompha himself was absent from the hearing. This trial in absentia began in June 2023 after his repeated failure to appear in court.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) originally arraigned Mompha and his company, Ismalob Global Investment Ltd., in January 2022 on eight charges related to the N6 billion money laundering case.
The charges include conspiracy to launder money from illegal activities, laundering of illegal funds, retaining proceeds from criminal conduct, using property obtained illegally, possessing false documents, and failing to disclose assets.
The trial has been adjourned until July 1st for further proceedings.
