Mompha took to his Instagram page to denounce all allegations made against him. He said, “In Every situation you find urself prayer is
the only Key!! l was arrested on october 18 2019 by Efcc not interpol or Fbi, No interpol or Fbi is looking for me cos i dont knw where all
these stories are coming from and the order of my arrest came from one of their head in lagos because he has my travel details, which i
asked what was my offence but he told me till u get to lagos. When i got to lagos on October 19 2019, he showed me my bank statement
and ask me about the funds which came to my account btw 2015 to 2017 which i defended. To my greatest suprise, the next thing they did
was to post that i was involved in internet fraud, BEC, cyber fraud and also 51 bank accounts which such never happened and it went viral
worldwide. What kind of country are we in? Nothing like investigation. They tried to tarnish my image, but God pass them. I was in their
custody for 40days which no evidence of fraud was found on me After my lawyer sued Them for keeping me for Long”.
