The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has declared businesswoman and socialite Aisha Achimugu wanted.
The agency’s spokesman, Dele Oyewale, made this known in a circular released via the EFCC’s X handle on Friday.
According to the EFCC, Achimugu is wanted by the agency in an alleged case of criminal conspiracy and money laundering.
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 the nearest police station or other security agencies.”
The agency had, in a letter, summoned the socialite to appear at its 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 traveled out of Nigeria on Thursday, March 6.
Following her alleged departure from the country, the agency obtained an arrest warrant and declared her wanted.
