Prominent business executive and socialite, Aisha Sulaiman Achimugu, was arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) early Tuesday morning in connection with an ongoing investigation into alleged criminal conspiracy and money laundering.
Her legal representative, Chikaosolu Ojukwu, SAN, confirmed the arrest in a statement noting that Achimugu voluntarily returned to Nigeria from London and was taken into custody by EFCC operatives at approximately 5 a.m.
This development follows a disclosure on Monday at the Federal High Court in Abuja, where Achimugu’s counsel stated that she had already indicated in court documents her intention to appear before the EFCC on Tuesday.
Achimugu was few weeks ago declared wanted by the EFCC.
