The trial of Ismaila Mustapha, also known as Mompha, and his company, Ismalob Global Investment Limited, before Justice Mojisola Dada of the Special Offences Court sitting in Ikeja, Lagos continued on Wednesday, April 6, 2022, with both the prosecution and defence giving the court the “report” on the plea bargain being worked on

He pleaded “not guilty” to the charges.

At the last sitting on March 28, 2022, the defence team led by Gboyega Oyewole, SAN, had informed the Court that his client intended to engage the prosecution on a plea bargain.

“Most important, my lord, is that the defendant wants to engage the prosecution on the charges,” he had said.

At today’s proceedings, the prosecuting counsel, S.I. Suleiman, informed the Court that both parties were “in the process towards a plea bargain.”

He, therefore, prayed the court for some more time.

In his response, Kolawole Salami, who held the brief of Oyewole, confirmed the position of the prosecution.

“The defendant wants his peace of mind and still maintains his no-guilty plea,” he added.
