Officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have apprehended prominent businesswoman and socialite, Aisha Sulaiman Achimugu.
Her legal representatives disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday, noting that Achimugu, who had returned voluntarily from London, was taken into custody around 5 a.m. that same day.
Prior to this, her lawyer had reportedly informed the Federal High Court in Abuja that Achimugu had indicated in her legal filings that she intended to visit the EFCC on Tuesday as part of an ongoing investigation into suspected criminal conspiracy and money laundering.
Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court in Abuja had ordered her to present herself to the EFCC on Tuesday, April 29, 2025, in connection with the investigation. The court further directed that she must appear before it on Wednesday, April 30, 2025, to continue the legal proceedings.
