The flamboyant Bureau-de-change operator says he is not standing trial for fraud as the EFCC is claiming.
During an Instagram Live chat with Daddy Freeze, a controversial radio host, Mompha, whom the EFCC named in an N157.1m fraud charge filed against a popular auto dealer, Sarumi Babafemi, alias 606 in February, claimed the EFCC contacted him after Hushpuppi was apprehended abroad.
They include: ‘‘retention of proceeds of unlawful activities to wit; fraud, failure to report the transaction to the Commission as required by the provision of the Money Laundering Prohibition Act, 2011 ’’.Wilson Uwujaren, the EFCC spokesperson, had earlier said ‘‘ claim, which did not mention the office of the Commission who supposedly gave the advice, is spurious and should be discountenanced.
Unlike his other posts, the BDC operator, who had earlier claimed that he was born into a wealthy home, turned off the comments on his Instagram posts after declaring that he operates a legal business.
