Ismail Mustapha, fondly called Mompha, an ex-friend of Ramon Abbas, better known as Hushpuppi, has shared that the ordeal the fraudster is currently going through is self-inflicted.
Mompha is an Instagram celebrity, and used to be a close friend of Hushpuppi. He revealed in a video interview that Hushpuppi’s stubbornness and highhandedness was the reason for his predicament.
The Instagram celebrity Hushpupi, who was known for flaunting exotic lifestyles on social media (Instagram), was arrested in Dubai during a sting operation by officers of the Federal Investigation Bureau, (FBI).
His arrest was due to his involvement and links to internet fraud perpetrated across various countries.
Mompha in an Instagram live interview with an OAP Daddy Freeze, said Hushpuppi does not listen to advice, therefore, his arrest by FBI agents and his ongoing prosecution in America is because he does not listen.
The father of two said he would not have been linked with the Hushpuppi’s case if he had not invited him to Dubai from Malaysia.
Also the Bureau De Change CEO, during the interview said when he had issues with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), he had to maintain a low-key lifestyle.
He revealed that while with the EFCC, he was interrogated by two FBI agents who could not pin him with anything.
Mompha, however, expressed displeasure at the manner at which some Nigerians plot and rejoice over the fall of successful people.
