Mompha added that he has come to the realization that he cannot get justice while accusing the EFCC of trying to extort money from him for a crime he never committed.
“All these facts especially the blackmail and intimidation by the EFCC made me come to the conclusion that I cannot get justice within this corrupt laden system as the EFCC was hell bent on extorting money from me for a crime I never committed as well as the Judge who was ready to send me back to prison custody without any evidence or basis,” he wrote.

In a different portion of his statement, Mompha claimed that Nappy, the individual he was alleged to have engaged in fraudulent activities with was never declared wanted by the EFCC. According to Mompha, this was because the agency allegedly extorted Nappy.
He wrote:
"The so called Nappy I was alleged to have engaged in fraudulent activities with was never declared wanted, the EFCC extorted money, cars and landed properties from Nappy but rather declared me wanted to generate cheap publicity."
Mompha maintained that he never got involved in any crime with Nappy, but only paid money to him through his bureau de change business, without any prior idea of the fraudulent activities he was involved in.
