Spokesman of the EFCC, WILSON UWUJAREN in a statement said MOMPHA was arrested by the anti-graft agency in the Federal Captial Territory on Friday 18, October 2019 at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, on his way to Dubai Emirate following series of intelligence reports received by the Commission.
He said Investigations have also revealed that MOMPHA is only using the Bureau De Change business he jointly owned with his siblings as a decoy to launder his proceeds of crime.
The Commission further alleged that at the point of arrest, five wristwatches with a total worth of over twenty million naira was recovered from him.
MOMPHA, who is fondly referred to as the ‘king’ of Nigerian Bureau De Change, is renowned for his luxurious lifestyle which is well portrayed in his flagrant display of expensive cars, wristwatches, and bewildering landscapes and properties on Instagram.
Although there are claims that he fled his base in Dubai to evade arrest from the International Criminal Police Organization, INTERPOL, many Nigerians are convinced that the source of the Instagram celebrity’s wealth is questionable.
