‘Losers!’ Socialite Mompha mocks EFCC after court victory
By Tolulope Oke
Nigerian socialite Ismaila Mustapha, better known as Mompha, has taken a swipe at the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) after announcing that a court had struck out the charges filed against him.
Mompha, who has been embroiled in a legal battle with the anti-graft agency since 2019, celebrated the development in an Instagram post on Tuesday, November 10, 2026.
Declaring victory after more than seven years of legal battles, the socialite accused the EFCC of subjecting him to harassment, intimidation and what he described as a baseless prosecution.
“VICTORY AT LAST!!” he announced.
According to Mompha, the court struck out the charges on the grounds that they constituted an abuse of court process and forum shopping.
He claimed that his ordeal began in 2019 when he returned to Nigeria with plans to invest in the economy but was confronted with allegations he maintained were fabricated.
The socialite said the prolonged legal battle disrupted his life and business ambitions for more than seven years.
He accused the EFCC of pursuing a campaign of victimisation against him, insisting that he had maintained his innocence throughout the proceedings.
Mompha expressed satisfaction with the judgment, describing it as a vindication of his longstanding position that the allegations were unfounded.
He also commended the judiciary and the judge who handled the case, saying the court had recognised what he considered the frivolous nature of the prosecution.
The socialite thanked Allah, his family and friends for supporting him throughout the legal battle.
He particularly appreciated his legal team, comprising Gboyega Oyewole (SAN), Kolawole Salami and Ademola Adefolaju, for their efforts in securing the favourable ruling.
Mompha maintained that he had always believed he would eventually emerge victorious despite the difficulties he faced.
However, his celebration took a mocking turn when he directly tagged the EFCC’s official Instagram account.
“Shame on you @officialefcc Losers,” he wrote, accompanying the remark with laughing emojis.
Mompha said the outcome had finally restored his freedom and peace of mind after years of legal uncertainty.
