The sixth prosecution witness, Idi Musa, testified in the trial of Ismaila Mustapha (aka Mompha) and revealed that N35 billion was found in two bank accounts linked to the defendant.
Mompha is facing an eight-count charge bordering on conspiracy to launder funds obtained through unlawful activity, retention of proceeds of criminal conduct, and other financial crimes.
The witness, an investigator with the EFCC, narrated how the commission received intelligence from the FBI that Mompha was involved in cybercrime and how his account statements revealed a heavy flow of N30bn and N5bn in two separate bank accounts.
The trial has been adjourned until October 8, 2024, for continuation, with the prosecution tendering Mompha’s statement and Asset Declaration Form as evidence.
