The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has declared
businesswoman and socialite Aisha Achimugu wanted.
The agency’s spokesman, Dele Oyewale, made this known in a
circular released via the EFCC’s X handle on Friday.
According to the EFCC, Achimugu is wanted by the agency in
an alleged case of criminal conspiracy and money laundering.
The circular reads, “The public is hereby notified that
Aisha Sulaiman Achimugu, whose photograph appears above is wanted by the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in an alleged case of criminal
conspiracy and money laundering.
“Achimugu, 51, is an indigene of Ofu Local Government Area
of Kogi State and her last known address is 6C, Rudolf Close, Maitama, Abuja.
“Anybody with useful information as to her whereabouts
should please contact the commission at its Ibadan, Uyo, Sokoto, Maiduguri,
Benin, Makurdi, Kaduna, Ilorin, Enugu, Kano, Lagos, Gombe, Port Harcourt or
Abuja offices or through 08093322644, its email address: info@efcc.gov.ng or
the nearest police station or other security agencies.”
The agency had, in a letter, summoned the socialite to
appear at its Port Harcourt office on March 5 over alleged money laundering and
a high-profile investment scam.
The letter, dated March 4 and signed by the EFCC’s acting
zonal director in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Adebayo Adeniyi, was sent to
Achimugu’s residential address in Abuja.
“This commission is currently investigating a case in which
the need to obtain certain clarification from you becomes imperative.
“In view of the above, you are kindly requested to attend an
interview with the undersigned through the Head of Investigation on Wednesday,
5th March 2025, by 10:00 hours prompt,” the letter reads.
However, rather than reporting to the EFCC office as
requested by the agency, Achimugu was said to have travelled out of Nigeria on
Thursday, March 6.
Following her alleged departure from the country, the agency
obtained an arrest warrant and declared her wanted.
