An Ikeja special offences court has admitted more documents in evidence against Ismaila Mustapha, the socialite better known as Mompha...

Suleiman Suleiman,including a letter by the commission to the United States of America’s Federal Bureau of Investigation and an investigative report by the bureau.The prosecution witness, Ayotunde Solademi, an FBI representative, said the bureau’s forensic operations revealed that Mompha’s iPhone was used to send account details to a United Arab Emirates telephone number, search for swift codes of a bank, and had a compromised Microsoft 365 account.

“The iPhone was used to make three attempts to transfer funds. The first two failed, but the third was successful,” he said.Under cross-examination, Kolawole Salami, counsel to Mompha, read from a paragraph of the documents which stated that the FBI documents are not to be used in a legal proceeding except after a separate communication has been made.

However, the judge overruled the objection and upheld the arguments of the prosecution who maintained that the FBI documents were original.On January 12, 2022, the Lagos zonal command of the EFCC arraigned Mompha alongside Ismalob Global Investment Limited, his company, on eight-count charges.
