Mompha Pleads Not Guilty, To Be Remanded In Prison

Dubai based Nigerian big boy, Islamila Mustapha aka Mompha, has pleaded not guilty to the N33billion money charges against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

This took place at the Federal High Court in Lagos where he was arraigned by the EFCC before Justice Mohammed Liman on a 14-count charge.

Mompha has been ordered by the judge to be remanded in prison custody and adjourned the case till Friday, November 29th.

This is coming a few days after Mompha filed a fundamental rights enforcement suit against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), alleging unlawful detention.

In the suit dated November 14, and filed before a Lagos high court by his lawyers, including Gboyega Oyewole (SAN), Ademola Adefolaju, Kolawole Salami and four others, Mompha also accused the anti-graft agency of violating his rights.
