THE Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has re-arrested internet celebrity, Ismaila Mustapha, aka Mompha, on suspicion of fresh internet fraud.

Mompha was out on bail following a N33billion money laundering charge filed against him by the anti-graft agency at the Federal High Court, Lagos.

An EFCC source told our correspondent that Mompha was re-arrested last Friday at the Commission’s Ikoyi office, when he went to retrieve several items seized from him.

The items – five wristwatches, one Apple Air pod, one iPhone, eight mobile phones and one pair of sunglasses, were confiscated following his arrest last October 19, at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.

EFCC counsel Mr Rotimi Oyedepo had told the judge that it had earlier released Mompha’s Air Pod and sunglasses when the application was filed.

He said the other properties Mompha sought were still with the commission for investigative purpos

But following an application by his counsel Mr Gboyega Oyewole (SAN), Justice Mohammed Liman on July 24 ordered the EFCC to release the items to Mompha.

The judge ruled that since the items were not listed as exhibits in the money laundering charges filed against Mompha, the EFCC had no justification to continue to hold onto them.
