EFCC Declares Prominent Socialite Aisha Achimugu Wanted Over Alleged Multi-Billion Naira Fraud

In a shocking turn of events, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has declared renowned businesswoman and socialite Aisha Sulaiman Achimugu wanted over allegations of criminal conspiracy and money laundering.

The agency, in an official statement released via its X handle on Friday, accused Achimugu, 51, of involvement in a major financial scandal. The EFCC has urged the public to provide any useful information regarding her whereabouts, listing multiple contact points, including its offices across the country, an emergency hotline, and an email address.

Achimugu, an indigene of Ofu Local Government Area in Kogi State, was last known to reside at 6C, Rudolf Close, Maitama, Abuja—an address located in one of the most exclusive neighborhoods in the nation’s capital.

This high-profile case has sent shockwaves through Nigeria’s elite circles, raising questions about the extent of financial corruption among the country’s wealthy and influential figures. With growing speculation over the case, many are wondering: will the EFCC finally bring another big name to justice, or will this be yet another case of selective prosecution?
