The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has declared prominent businesswoman and socialite Aisha Sulaiman Achimugu wanted over allegations of criminal conspiracy and money laundering.
In a statement released on Friday via the agency’s official X handle, EFCC spokesperson Dele Oyewale called on the public to provide any information on Achimugu’s whereabouts.
“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.
Achimugu, 51, hails from Ofu Local Government Area of Kogi State. Her last known address is 6C, Rudolf Close, Maitama, Abuja. The EFCC urged anyone with relevant information to report to its offices nationwide or contact the agency through its helpline or email.
Allegations and Flight from Nigeria
Sources indicate that the EFCC had earlier summoned Achimugu for questioning regarding an alleged money laundering scheme and a high-profile investment fraud. A letter dated March 4, 2025, signed by EFCC’s acting zonal director in Port Harcourt, Adebayo Adeniyi, requested her presence at the commission’s office on March 5.
“This commission is currently investigating a case in which the need to obtain certain clarification from you becomes imperative,” the letter stated.
However, instead of honoring the invitation, Achimugu reportedly left Nigeria on March 6. Her sudden departure prompted the EFCC to obtain an arrest warrant and subsequently declare her wanted.
The anti-graft agency has vowed to track her down and ensure she faces the law.
