Claims by the EFCC also revealed that Mompha travelled to Dubai with a new passport against the order of the court.

”Yes, we have declared him wanted. He has defied a court order by travelling out of the country despite having his passport seized.

”We have made several efforts to get him but all to no avail,” one of the sources said.

The spokesman for the anti-graft agency, Wilson Uwujaren, confirmed the development to newsmen on Wednesday, August 3 2022.
