The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has declared businesswoman and socialite Aisha Achimugu
wanted for her alleged involvement in a case of criminal conspiracy and money laundering.
According to the EFCC, Achimugu’s whereabouts are currently unknown, and the agency is seeking the public’s
assistance in locating her.
The EFCC’s spokesman, Dele Oyewale, released a circular via the agency’s X handle, stating that Achimugu is wanted
in connection with an ongoing investigation. The circular provided details about Achimugu’s identity, including her
age, 51, and her last known address in Abuja.
Achimugu was initially summoned by the EFCC to appear at its Port Harcourt office on March 5 to answer questions
about her alleged involvement in a high-profile investment scam.
However, instead of honoring the invitation, Achimugu traveled out of Nigeria on March 6, prompting the EFCC to
obtain an arrest warrant. The EFCC has urged anyone with information about Achimugu’s whereabouts to contact the
agency at its various offices or through its hotline.

Achimugu’s case is the latest in a series of high-profile investigations by the EFCC, which has been cracking down on
alleged financial crimes in recent months. The agency’s efforts have yielded significant results, with several
individuals and organizations facing prosecution for their alleged roles in financial scams.
The EFCC’s declaration of Achimugu as wanted has sparked widespread interest, with many Nigerians taking to
social media to express their opinions about the case. While some have praised the EFCC for its efforts to combat
financial crime, others have raised questions about the agency’s methods and the fairness of its investigations.
As the search for Achimugu continues, the EFCC has reiterated its commitment to bringing those involved in financial crimes to justice. The agency has urged anyone with information about Achimugu’s whereabouts to come forward, promising to protect the identities of informants.
The case against Achimugu is a complex one, involving allegations of money laundering and conspiracy. The EFCC has gathered evidence and testimony from various sources, which it believes will be sufficient to secure a conviction.
