Suspected internet fraudster, Ismaila Mustapha aka Mompha has finally been freed from EFCC custody after fulfilling bail condition.

Recall that a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos recently granted N100m bail to the Dubai-based businessman over alleged N33billion fraud.

The EFCC had arrested him on October 19, 2019, at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja and remanded in the commission's custody following a court order.

Mompha however, instituted a fundamental rights enforcement suit against EFCC for detaining him beyond the constitutionally stipulated days without charging him to court.

In the commencement of trial Mompha also pleaded not guilty to a 14-count charge bordering on fraud offences. He was subsequently granted N100million bail which he has successfully fulfilled.

"Drugs can ruin your whole life. If they don't kill you, they can leave you in a trance for the rest of your life.

"Most f***ing rappers rap about getting high and feeling great. But I talk about the good side and the bad side. Just to shed some light on the negative side."

Read full report by TMZ below.

'Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … the FBI confiscated the huge stash of weed from several suitcases that were on board the flight. We obtained this photo of the marijuana and luggage in the private jet terminal at Midway.

According to law enforcement, several members of Juice's team aboard the flight — which landed around 1 AM Sunday — told them Juice had taken "several unknown pills" prior to the seizures which led to him getting rushed to a hospital.

Further, we're told one of Juice's associates told authorities the 21-year-old rapper has a Percocet problem. Our law enforcement sources also say a bottle of codeine cough syrup was found on the plane.

Juice's cause of death hasn't been determined … the Cook County Medical Examiner will conduct an autopsy on Monday.

Two men — Chris Long and Henry Dean — were arrested for possession of handguns. We're told cops recovered 3 guns in total. Dean was released without bail, and Long is out after posting a $1,500 bond'.

I am a sinner no doubt but my God didn't tell me to look like a piece of shit because I'm going to church. and am marveled as to how me and my cousin look indecent am trying to understand and digest this . It's pretty unfortunate because we are own problems imagine depriving myself of sleep to attend church to praise God and thank him for my life only to be chased back we were Blocked right from the gate and were treated in the most humiliating manner but thank God i could stay calm God gave me the mind to overlook I respected the fact I was in his presence it's sad how even serving God is mad hard for us humans the content if the heart is what matters not the physical appearance reasons why alot of people are discouraged going to the house of God.

Growing up I was taught one thing God said come as you are . I believe that's what God is truly like . After all is said and done to God be the glory I wasn't allowed to attend Mass we were all sent back home .

It's just sickening , the mentality of people the church as a whole we need to address this issues your going to the house of God to seek rest and peace? Well that's where the real trouble is .and it shouldn't be so I was born and brought up a Catholic i know what I should at least wear to church I am sensible enough to different bad from Good at least I should know what is presentable enough but oh well. Well I see nothing wrong with what me and my cousin are wearing but I guess the church has a problem with it."
