Nigerians have taken to social media to mock popular Instagram big boy, Ismaila Mustapha, better known as Mompha.
This comes after a photo of him rocking a DIOR shirt into the court made its way to the internet.
Mompha was remanded in the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) custody until the hearing of his bail plea before the Lagos Special Offence Court in Ikeja.
After he was arraigned on an eight-count allegation of facilitating internet fr#ud and being in possession of bogus documents, Justice Mojisola Dada ordered his confinement.
Mompha and his company, Global Investment Limited, were charged with conspiracy to launder funds obtained through illegal activity, retention of such funds, transfer of funds for a suspect, Jimoh Olayinka Dolapo a.k.a. Nappy Boy, the owner of NapTown Records, and unlawful transfer of funds for a record label, among other things.
The charges total almost N6 billion and include sums of N5,998,884.653.18, N32 million, N120 million, and N15,960,000. Mompha allegedly concealed his interest in luxury wristwatches and other movable assets worth over N70 million, according to the EFCC.
Mompha pled “not guilty” to the eight counts, while Islamob Limited was charged with the first six counts and pleaded “not guilty.” Justice Dada postponed the hearing on a bail application filed by the defendant’s counsel, Gboyega Oyewole, until January 18, 2022.
Mompha, together with Ismalob Global Investment Limited, is on trial in the Federal High Court in Lagos on an amended 22-count charge of cyberfr#ud and money laundering in the amount of N32.9 billion levelled against him by the EFCC. He entered a not guilty plea to all of the charges.
However, what stood out for most Nigerians was the Dior designers shirt he wore.
