The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has issued a wanted notice for businesswoman and socialite Aisha Achimugu due to allegations of criminal conspiracy and money laundering.
In a recent circular, the EFCC announced that Achimugu is sought in connection with these serious charges. The notice states: “The public is hereby informed that Aisha Sulaiman Achimugu, whose photograph appears, is wanted by the EFCC for alleged criminal conspiracy and money laundering.”
Achimugu, 51, hails from Ofu Local Government Area in Kogi State, with her last known residence listed as 6C, Rudolf Close, Maitama, Abuja. The EFCC urges anyone with information regarding her whereabouts to reach out to its offices across various states or contact their dedicated phone line.
Reports indicate that the EFCC had previously summoned Achimugu to respond to inquiries about her involvement in a purported investment scam linked to money laundering. This summons, dated March 4, was addressed to her residence in Abuja, requesting her appearance on March 5 for an interview.
However, instead of complying with the EFCC’s request, Achimugu allegedly departed Nigeria shortly before the scheduled interview, prompting the agency to secure an arrest warrant against her for evading the investigation. The timeline suggests she left the country around March 6 or 7, leading to her current status as a wanted individual.
