The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has declared businesswoman and socialite Aisha Sulaiman Achimugu, wanted in connection with an alleged case of criminal conspiracy and money laundering.
The EFCC’s spokesman, Dele Oyewale, released the notice on Friday via the agency’s X (formerly Twitter) handle. According to the EFCC, Achimugu is being sought in relation to an ongoing investigation into money laundering and a high-profile investment scam.
The commission revealed that Achimugu, aged 51, is an indigene of Ofu Local Government Area in Kogi State. Her last known address is 6C, Rudolf Close, Maitama, Abuja. The EFCC is urging anyone with information regarding her whereabouts to contact any of their offices nationwide or reach out via their official hotline (08093322644) and email (info@efcc.gov.ng). Additionally, the public can report any information to the nearest police station or other security agencies.
The EFCC further explained that they had previously summoned Achimugu to appear at their Port Harcourt office on March 5, 2025, for an interview regarding the investigation. The commission sent a letter, dated March 4, requesting her attendance. However, instead of responding to the invitation, Achimugu reportedly left Nigeria on March 6, prompting the EFCC to secure an arrest warrant and issue a public declaration for her capture.
In the same vein, the EFCC continues to urge the public to assist in locating Achimugu, highlighting the seriousness of the charges against her. The investigation is ongoing, and the commission has vowed to ensure all legal processes are followed.
The case adds to the growing list of individuals facing scrutiny for financial crimes, as the EFCC intensifies its efforts to combat money laundering and corruption in Nigeria.
