EFCC Declares Aisha Achimugu Wanted for Money Laundering!
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) put out a wanted notice for Aisha Achimugu, managing director and CEO of Felak Concept Group, in connection with an alleged money-laundering activity.
Dele Oyewale, EFCC spokesman, said this in a notice made public via the EFCC X handle on Friday, July 28, 2023.
“Public notice is hereby given that Aisha Sulaiman Achimugu, whose photograph appeared above, is wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in an alleged case of criminal conspiracy and money laundering,” the circular noted
“Achimugu, 51 years old, hails from Ofu Local Government Area of Kogi State, and her last known address is 6C, Rudolf Close, Maitama, Abuja.
“Any person with any information useful to the commission to trace her whereabouts should please notify or contact the commission through its Ibadan, Uyo, Sokoto, Maiduguri, Benin, Makurdi, Kaduna, Ilorin, Enugu, Kano, Lagos, Gombe, Port Harcourt, or Abuja offices or through 08093322644, its email address: info@efcc.gov.ng, or the nearest police station or any of the other security outfits.”
It was gathered that the agency had, in a letter, summoned the socialite to appear at its Port Harcourt office on March 5 over alleged money laundering and a high-profile investment scam.
The letter was dated March 4 and signed by Adebayo Adeniyi, the acting zonal director of the EFCC in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, and sent to Achimugu’s home address in Abuja.
“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 with the undersigned through the Head of Investigation on Wednesday, 5th March 2025, at 10:00 hours prompt,” the letter read.
However, Achimugu was said to have left Nigeria on Thursday, March 6, without reporting to the EFCC office as expected.
After allegedly absconding from Nigeria, the agency proceeded to obtain an arrest warrant and constitute Achimugu wanted.
Achimugu had earlier made headlines in January 2024 while hosting a weeklong birthday bash on the sparkling Caribbean Island of Grenada to celebrate her 50th birthday for some of the top names in the Nigerian entertainment industry and other important faces; including a governor.
After the party, the Federal Capital Territory Internal Revenue Service (FCT-IRS) kindly sent Achimugu a reminder to file her annual tax returns.
“On behalf of the FCT-Internal Revenue Service, we join in sending you our warmest birthday wishes! May this special day be filled with joy and blessings. Remember to fulfill your tax obligations by filing your annual tax returns,” responded the FIRS in a statement on X commenting about the lavish event.
