The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has named Instagram celebrity, Ismail Mustapha, popularly known as Mompha, in its amended N157.1million fraud charge filed against an auto dealer, Sarumi Babafemi, alias 606.
Recall that the socialite has since November 25, 2019 been facing a separate 14-count N32.9 billion charge bothering on money laundering before Justice Mohammed Liman of the Federal High Court (FHC) in Lagos.
One Mr. Babafemi is the Chief Executive Officer of 606 Autos Ltd; 606 Music Ltd and Splash Off Entertainment Ltd.
He and his firms have since November 1, 2019 been on trial a five-count charge before Justice Chuka Obiozor of the FHC for allegedly laundering N207.1million.
