EFCC declares businesswoman Aisha Achimugu wanted for money laundering

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has declared Aisha Achimugu, a businesswoman and socialite, wanted over alleged criminal conspiracy and money laundering.

EFCC spokesperson Dele Oyewale announced this in a circular released on the agency’s X handle on Friday, stating that Achimugu, 51, is an indigene of Ofu Local Government Area, Kogi State. Her last known address was 6C, Rudolf Close, Maitama, Abuja.

“The public is hereby notified that Aisha Sulaiman Achimugu, whose photograph appears above, is wanted by the EFCC in an alleged case of criminal conspiracy and money laundering,” the circular reads.

The agency urged anyone with useful information regarding her whereabouts to contact any EFCC office nationwide, call 08093322644, email info@efcc.gov.ng, or report to the nearest police station or security agency.

Prior to this, the EFCC had summoned Achimugu for questioning at its Port Harcourt office on March 5 over alleged involvement in a high-profile investment scam and money laundering. However, she failed to appear and instead reportedly left Nigeria on March 6.

Following her departure, the anti-graft agency secured an arrest warrant and subsequently declared her wanted.
