The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has declared businesswoman and socialite Aisha Achimugu wanted over allegations of criminal conspiracy and money laundering.
The announcement was made by the EFCC’s spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, in a circular shared on the agency’s official X handle on Friday.
According to the statement, Achimugu, 51, hails from Ofu Local Government Area in Kogi State. Her last known address is 6C, Rudolf Close, Maitama, Abuja.
The agency urged anyone with useful information about her whereabouts to contact its offices in Ibadan, Uyo, Sokoto, Maiduguri, Benin, Makurdi, Kaduna, Ilorin, Enugu, Kano, Lagos, Gombe, Port Harcourt, or Abuja. The public can also reach out via 08093322644, info@efcc.gov.ng, or the nearest police station or security agency.
Reports indicate that the EFCC had previously summoned Achimugu to appear at its Port Harcourt office on March 5 regarding an ongoing investigation into money laundering and a high-profile investment scam.
A letter dated March 4, signed by the EFCC’s acting zonal director in Port Harcourt, Adebayo Adeniyi, was delivered to her Abuja residence. The letter requested her presence for an interview at 10:00 AM on March 5, 2025.
However, rather than complying with the summons, Achimugu allegedly left Nigeria on March 6.
Following her reported departure, the EFCC obtained an arrest warrant and officially declared her wanted.
