For her alleged involvement in criminal conspiracy and money laundering, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC) has declared businesswoman and socialite Aisha Achimugu wanted.
EFCC’s spokesman, Dele Oyewale, announced this in a circular posted on the commission’s X handle on Friday.
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: info@efcc.gov.ng or the nearest police station or other security agencies.”
Persecondnews had earlier reported that the agency summoned the socialite, via a letter, to appear at its Port Harcourt office on March 5 to face allegations of money laundering and a high-profile investment scam.
The EFCC’s Port Harcourt zonal office, in a letter dated March 4 and signed by Acting Zonal Director Adebayo Adeniyi, was sent to Achimugu’s residential address in Abuja.
The letter reads: “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.”
Instead of reporting to the EFCC office as requested, Persecondnews learnt that Achimugu reportedly left Nigeria on Thursday, March 6.
After she allegedly fled the country, the EFCC secured an arrest warrant and subsequently declared her wanted.
