Aisha Achimugu has officially been declared wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
In a circular released by the spokesperson of the anti-graft agency, Dele Oyewale, 51-year-old Aisha Achimugu is wanted for in an alleged case of criminal conspiracy and money laundering.
ENigeria News reports that the circular reads, “The public is hereby notified that Aisha Sulaiman Achimugu, whose photograph appears above, is wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in an alleged case of criminal conspiracy and money laundering.
“Achimugu, 51, is an indigene of Ofu Local Government Area of Kogi State, and her last known address is 6C, Rudolf Close, Maitama, Abuja.
“Anybody with useful information as to her whereabouts should please contact the commission at its Ibadan, Uyo, Sokoto, Maiduguri, Benin, Makurdi, Kaduna, Ilorin, Enugu, Kano, Lagos, Gombe, Port Harcourt, or Abuja offices or through 08093322644, its email address: [email protected] or the nearest police station or other security agencies.”
Aisha Achimugu, an ally of Lagos State governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, was summoned to appear at the EFCC Port Harcourt office on March 5 over alleged money laundering and a high-profile investment scam.
The letter, dated March 4 and signed by the EFCC’s acting zonal director in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Adebayo Adeniyi, was sent to Achimugu’s residential address in Abuja.
However, rather than reporting to the EFCC office as requested by the agency, Achimugu was said to have travelled out of Nigeria on Thursday, March 6.
Following her alleged departure from the country, the agency obtained an arrest warrant and declared her wanted.
