EFCC Declares Businesswoman Aisha Achimugu Wanted Over Alleged Money Laundering

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has declared prominent businesswoman and socialite, Aisha Sulaiman Achimugu, wanted over an alleged case of criminal conspiracy and money laundering.

In an official circular released via the EFCC’s X handle on Friday, the agency’s spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, urged the public to provide any useful information regarding her 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 in Kogi State, with her last known address listed as 6C, Rudolf Close, Maitama, Abuja. The EFCC called on anyone with credible information to contact the commission at any of its zonal offices across the country or report to the nearest police station.

Summoned and Missing

Prior to declaring her wanted, the EFCC had summoned Achimugu to appear at its Port Harcourt office on March 5, 2025, for questioning regarding an alleged high-profile investment scam and money laundering case.

A letter dated March 4, signed by the EFCC’s acting Zonal Director in Port Harcourt, Adebayo Adeniyi, had been sent to Achimugu’s Abuja residence, requesting her presence for an interview with investigators.

“This commission is currently investigating a case in which the need to obtain certain clarification from you becomes imperative. In view of the above, you are kindly requested to attend an interview on Wednesday, 5th March 2025, by 10:00 hours prompt,” the letter stated.

However, instead of honoring the summons, Achimugu allegedly left the country on Thursday, March 6, prompting the EFCC to obtain an arrest warrant and officially declare her wanted.

The agency has now intensified efforts to track her down and is appealing to the public and international partners for cooperation in bringing her to justice.

The case has sparked widespread attention, with financial crime watchdogs closely monitoring developments. As investigations continue, the EFCC remains resolute in its mission to hold accountable individuals involved in financial misconduct.

Delta State Government Dismisses Viral Video Misrepresenting First Lady’s Visit

The Delta State Government has condemned a misleading social media video suggesting that nurses in the state protested against the wife of the President, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, during her recent working visit.

Senator Tinubu visited Asaba, the state capital, on Tuesday to launch the distribution of 10,000 medical kits for midwives in the South-South region. During the event, she explained that the kits were specifically for midwives and that due to funding constraints, nurses would receive their share at a later date.

Following her visit, a viral video surfaced, depicting what seemed to be a protest by some nurses, particularly nursing students, who were reportedly disappointed by their exclusion from the distribution. However, the state government has clarified that the video does not accurately represent the true events of the day.

A government representative stated, “We noticed a viral video that conveys a narrative contrary to the actual scenario. The First Lady assured the nurses that their turn would come in due course, and she even apologized for the temporary exclusion.”

Speaking to journalists in Asaba on Thursday, the state Commissioner for Works (Rural Roads) and Public Information, Charles Aniagwu, dismissed the video as a misrepresentation of events. He emphasized that the First Lady did not visit the School of Nursing in Agbor, contrary to claims made in the video.

“What happened was that some nurses at the event had expectations regarding the distribution of the medical kits. The First Lady apologized and reassured them that their share would come through the Renewed Hope Initiative,” Aniagwu explained.

He further noted that while some nurses expressed disappointment, there was no hostility or protest. “Initially, the nurses were happy, dancing, and cheering as the First Lady spoke. A few of them, in a lighthearted manner, expressed their expectations through song, but this was taken out of context by social media users,” he said.

The commissioner expressed the state government’s gratitude to Senator Tinubu for her visit and her initiatives aimed at improving healthcare in the region. “We appreciate the First Lady’s visit and her generous contributions to our people. The reaction seen in the video does not represent the true character of our nurses but rather a few individuals seeking equal treatment with midwives.”

The Delta State Government urged the public to disregard the misleading video and focus on the positive impact of the First Lady’s visit, which included distributing essential medical kits to midwives and reaffirming support for nurses in the near future.
