Mompha, who
is currently facing money laundering charges before the Federal High Court, was
rearrested on Friday, August 14.
Social media
celebrity, Ismaila Mustapha aka Mompha, has slammed the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC) with N5million lawsuit over his recent arrest.
Following a
court order, Mompha had gone to the EFCC office in Ikoyi, Lagos to reclaim his
five wristwatches, one Apple Air pod, one iPhone 8 mobile phone and one pair of
sunglasses, seized from him by the anti-graft agency, when he was rearrested.
In the suit
filed against EFCC by his lawyer, Gboyega Oyewole today, August 18, Mompha
prayed the court to declare his re-arrest and detention by the EFCC as
unjustifiable and unlawful.
He urged the
court to declare that the continued seizure of the items violated his right to
own property under Section 44 of the constitution.
Mompha also
prayed the court to order EFCC to release him, give back his seized items and
also pay him N5million as damages.
