The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has declared businesswoman and socialite Aisha Achimugu wanted over allegations of criminal conspiracy and money laundering.
EFCC spokesperson Dele Oyewale announced this in a circular posted on the agency’s X handle on Friday.
“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,” the statement read.
The agency disclosed that Achimugu, 51, hails from Ofu Local Government Area of Kogi State, with her last known address listed as 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: info@efcc.gov.ng, or the nearest police station or other security agencies,” the EFCC added.
Achimugu was summoned to appear at the EFCC’s Port Harcourt office on March 5 regarding an ongoing investigation into alleged money laundering and a high-profile investment scam.
A letter dated March 4, signed by EFCC’s Acting Zonal Director in Port Harcourt, Adebayo Adeniyi, was delivered to her Abuja residence.
“This commission is currently investigating a case in which the need to obtain certain clarification from you becomes imperative.
“In view of the above, you are kindly requested to attend an interview with the undersigned through the Head of Investigation on Wednesday, 5th March 2025, by 10:00 hours prompt,” the letter stated.
However, Achimugu reportedly failed to honour the invitation and instead left Nigeria between March 6 and March 7.
Following her departure, the EFCC secured an arrest warrant and officially declared her wanted.
