What Nigerian Youths are saying over the arrest of Mompha suspected ‘Yahoo Yahoo Big Boy
News of the arrest of Ismaila Mustapha, a.k.a Mompha surfaced online on Tuesday after controversial Nigerian journalist, Kemi Olunloyo first shared the news on her Instagram page. Olunloyo said Mompha was arrested in Abuja after he fled Dubai.
Olunloyo also claimed that the arrest happened four days ago.
Some hours later, the EFCC confirmed the arrest. Twitter and other social media platforms went on fire, with comments comparing his arrest with that of Invictus boss, Obinwanne Okeke, who was arrested in the US in August.
Mompha, a social media celebrity, with about 650,000 followers on Instagram, is often referred to as the king of Nigerian Bureau De Change. Some commenters on Tuesday even said that he had been competing with Ray, a.k.a Hushpuppi, another flamboyant Nigerian who claims to be a real estate developer, with the way he spends money on luxuries.
Mompha recently acquired the latest Rolls Royce Wraith Eagle viii 2020, claiming he’s the first African in the whole world and in the Middle East to buy the luxury whip.

Some Nigerians said Mompha’s arrest did not come as a surprise with the way he was spending money lavishly and showing off, with source of income questionable.
Here are some of the reactions;
Just relax, do not let Mompha and social media get you into trouble. Legit money does not grow on trees, only for fraudsters, hence Davido’s comment.
I hear Interpol has arrested Instagram ‘big boy’ Mompha. This is another reason why you shouldn’t believe everything you see on the gram. Another reason for you to enjoy your own pace, trust your own journey, work hard and make legit money.
How can you trust that Mompha Guy? Nobody knows what he does. Today baba don buy Bentley, tomorrow him don buy Rolls Royce wey Queen Elizabeth Dey use. Instagram life sha
i heard Mompha was arrested by Interpol for a $5m fraud…

chaiiiiiii
I have said it before and I’ll still say it again…..I rather die broke than do yahoo….how do you defraud other people and live with it
No conscience at all….
They should use Mompha and Obi to teach other yahoo boys lessons

I’ve always said that there’s no way Mompha’s money isn’t dirty. Person wey dey flex on hushpuppi. Change cars like cloth. Always flaunting millions in cash.
People wey dey use their mama do ritual sef no do reach like this.
*Mompha allegedly arrested for fraud*
You go “omg can’t believe this, guys I look up to bla bla” you’re either dumb or an amazing pretender.
You can’t tell how Mompha, Hush, Joe e.t.c made their bones yet you feign surprise each time you hear they’re accused of illegality.
Had Pablo remained in his biz & influenced the politics of the day, he will still be here.
Had Frank Lucas refused his wife coat that night, the Feds wouldn’t have seen him.Mompha & others need to watch lots of organized crime movies.
Stay low, off radar
The next housemate to be evicted from the BigFrauder house is ……
Mompha!
Hushpuppi: No leave No Transfer!
Glory&Clyde: Warrrrrriiiii#gloryosei
Just when mompha thought he has escaped interpol, he ran into EFCC not knowing that interpol scare is a bait.
By now, the bigwigs at EFCC have started sharing his properties amongst themselves even before they confiscate it.
Be cautious, scam is never the way.
Even if you do Blood money, Ifa can’t afford the kind of money that Mompha has. It’s almost impossible to tell me there isn’t illegal shit involved. Probably laundering. All he had to do was stay lowkey but no.
I always knew Mompha and Hushpuppi money is not clean,but if you talk,Those that look up to them will come after you saying you are hating and all,Una eyes don clear now???Ole ni everybody
You scam people online , increase price of your products , sell fake drugs , sell fake products , don’t pay your workers , don’t use company money well , wicked to your staff , don’t help people, don’t take care of your family etc but come online to drag mompha 🤡

Many Nigerians was like “GOD WHEN”
when Invictus Obi was onboardMore people are still asking “GOD WHY”
now that Hushpuppi is in powerMany asked same questions before the
endgame by Interpol for MomphaYou don’t know what you don’t know
Who the cap fit, let them wear it
If you look up to Mompha and the rest as Mentors or something
You should be arrested ASAP too
