The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has responded strongly to accusations made by Ismaila Mustapha, popularly known as Mompha. Mompha claimed that the EFCC is corrupt. The commission is demanding that Mompha provide evidence to support his allegations.
In a recent statement, the EFCC expressed disappointment over the claims and emphasized that such accusations could damage its reputation. The commission assured the public of its commitment to transparency and accountability. It challenged Mompha to back his statements with concrete proof.
Mompha, a well-known social media personality, has had previous run-ins with the EFCC. He is currently facing charges related to money laundering and fraud. The commission reiterated that it is carrying out its duties lawfully and without prejudice.
The EFCC’s response aims to maintain public trust and demonstrate that it operates above board. It urged the public to disregard baseless claims and focus on the commission’s efforts to combat financial crimes in Nigeria.
