Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have arrested prominent businesswoman and socialite, Aisha Achimugu, at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja. The arrest took place in the early hours of Tuesday around 5:00 a.m., shortly after Achimugu arrived in Nigeria from London. According to her legal team, Achimugu returned to the country voluntarily. She has been on the EFCC’s wanted list for over a month in connection with allegations of money laundering and other related financial offences. A Federal High Court in Abuja had recently ordered her to present herself before the anti-graft agency to respond to questions surrounding the ongoing investigation into alleged fraud. The court directed that she must appear before EFCC investigators on Wednesday, April 30, 2025. As of the time of this report, the EFCC has not released an official statement regarding the arrest or the specific charges Achimugu may face. The development has sparked interest, given Achimugu’s high profile and the serious nature of the allegations against her.
