Mompha, currently facing trial for conspiracy to launder funds obtained through unlawful activities, failure to disclose assets, and other charges, recently accused the EFCC operatives of corruption. The Commission has dismissed his statements as the desperate actions of a defendant under pressure, noting that such accusations strike at the heart of the EFCC’s core value of integrity.
The EFCC expressed concern that Mompha has chosen to abandon the court platform for a media campaign against the Commission. The agency stressed that it will not be deterred by these tactics and is committed to diligently pursuing the case.
In response to the allegations, EFCC Executive Chairman Mr. Ola Olukoyede has directed that Mompha be invited to provide concrete evidence supporting his claims. Additionally, the EFCC challenges Mompha to substantiate his derogatory labeling of the Commission.
The EFCC reassured the public that it remains focused on its mission and will not be distracted by unfounded accusations. The Commission encourages the public to disregard Mompha’s claims and urges him to face his prosecution in court.
