In a message posted on Instagram on Tuesday, Bobrisky said he was shocked about the arrest, having spoken with Mompha a few days ago.
“I still find it to believe what I read about you. I still spoke with you a few days ago,” the 28-year-old wrote.
He added that God should see Mompha “through this tough time because you have a good heart.”
A statement by EFCC spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, said Mompha was arrested for alleged involvement in internet-related fraud and money laundering.

“The suspect was arrested on Friday 18 October, 2019 at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja on his way to Dubai, United Arab Emirate following series of actionable intelligence reports linking him to organised transnational cyber fraud and money laundering.
“Ismaila allegedly perpetrates his fraudulent activities under the cover of being a Bureau de Change operator, to launder his proceeds of crime.
“However, the suspect has volunteered useful information while investigation continues.
