The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has declared socialite Aisha Sulaiman Achimugu wanted in connection with an alleged case of criminal conspiracy and money laundering.
This was revealed in a notice signed by the EFCC’s Head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale, sighted by News About Nigeria.
Achimugu, 51, is an indigene of Ofu Local Government Area in Kogi State.
Her last known address is 6C, Rudolf Close, Maitama, Abuja.
The EFCC urged members of the public with any useful information about her whereabouts to contact the Commission through its offices in Ibadan, Uyo, Sokoto, Maiduguri, Benin, Makurdi, Kaduna, Ilorin, Enugu, Kano, Lagos, Gombe, Port Harcourt, or Abuja.
The agency advised the public to report to the nearest police station or any other relevant security agency if Achimugu is sighted.
The anti-graft agency had invited Achimigu for questioning on March 5, 2025, over allegations of criminal conspiracy and money laundering activities.
However, she did not attend the interview and subsequently travelled out of Nigeria.
This prompted the EFCC to consider obtaining an arrest warrant and potentially declaring her wanted.
Her aide, David Abakpa, denied any wrongdoing on her part, stating that she was not arrested or detained by the EFCC and that she is currently abroad on a business trip.
Recall that in January 2024, Achimugu celebrated her 50th birthday with a lavish seven-day event in Grenada, which attracted attention from tax authorities.
Furthermore, in 2017, a company linked to Achimugu, Wishwich Koncept Limited, was warned by the Federal High Court in Abuja against selling a mansion that was under investigation by the EFCC in connection with alleged funds diversion and money laundering involving former Akwa Ibom State Governor Godswill Akpabio.
