Money Laundering: Court Adjourns Mompha’s Trial Till Dec 19

Justice Mojisola Dada of the Special Offences Court Sitting in Ikeja, Lagos, on Wednesday, November 1, 2023, adjourned till December 19, 2023 further hearing in the alleged N6bn fraud trial involving Ismaila Mustapha, also known as Mompha(now at large).

 Mompha alongside his company, Ismalob Global Investment Limited, was arraigned by the Lagos Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on January 12, 2022 on eight-count charges bordering on conspiracy to launder funds obtained through unlawful activity; retention of proceeds of criminal conduct; laundering of funds obtained through unlawful activity; failure to disclose assets and property; possession of documents containing false pretence and use of property derived from unlawful act.

One of the counts reads: "Ismaila Mustapha, Ahmadu Mohammed (at large) and Ismalob Global Investment Limited, sometime in 2016 in Lagos, within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, conspired amongst yourselves to conduct financial transactions to the tune of N5,998,884,653.18 ( Five Billion Nine Hundred and Ninety-eight Million Eight Hundred and Eighty-four Thousand Six Hundred and Fifty-three Naira Eighteen Kobo), with the intent of promoting the carrying on of specified unlawful activities to wit: obtaining by false pretence."

At the last proceedings on Monday, September 18, 2023, the EFCC, through its third prosecution witness, PW3, Ayorinde Solademi, a staff of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI, Office of Legal Attache, US Consulate, Lagos, had tendered a report by the USA-based FBI, as well as an investigative report on Mompha's iPhone, which the agency claimed was used for fraudulent practices.

The defence counsel, Kolawole Salami had raised an objection to the admissibility of the two documents, arguing that they were public documents that were needed to be certified by the United States Consulate.
"The documents are not a certified true copy, and should not be admitted in court," he had said.

The objection was, however, overruled by the court.

Justice Dada upheld the submission of the prosecution that the documents were in their original state, stressing that, "the documents do not require certification".

Under cross-examination, the witness had told the court that the FBI's forensic operations revealed that Mompha's iPhone was used to send account details to a United Arab Emirates telephone number; used to search for Swift Codes of a bank, and also had a compromised Microsoft 365 account.
He further told the court that Mompha's iPhone, during analysis, was found to have also been used to change payment delivery from cheque to wire transfer, after a third attempt.

He said: "The iPhone was used to make three attempts to transfer funds.
"The first two failed, but the third was successful."

The Judge had, thereafter, adjourned till November 1, 2023 (today) for continuation of trial.

At Wednesday’s proceedings, counsel for the EFCC, Bilikisu Buhari, informed the court that the prosecution's next witness was not in the country.

Consequently, Justice Dada adjourned the case till Tuesday, December 19, 2023 for continuation of trial.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the uni...
