The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has declared businesswoman and socialite Aisha Achimugu wanted over allegations of criminal conspiracy and money laundering.
EFCC spokesperson Dele Oyewale announced this in a circular shared on the agency’s official X handle on Friday.
“The public is hereby notified that Aisha Sulaiman Achimugu, whose photograph appears above, is wanted by the EFCC in connection with 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 commission urged anyone with information regarding her whereabouts to report to any of its offices in Abuja, Lagos, Kano, Port Harcourt, and other states. The agency also provided a contact number (08093322644) and an email address (info@efcc.gov.ng) for tips, encouraging cooperation from the public and other security agencies.

Before declaring her wanted, the EFCC had summoned Achimugu to appear at its Port Harcourt office on March 5, 2025, for questioning over an ongoing investigation related to money laundering and an investment fraud scheme.
A letter dated March 4, signed by the EFCC’s acting Zonal Director in Port Harcourt, Adebayo Adeniyi, was delivered to her Abuja residence. It stated that her presence was required for clarification regarding the case.
“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, by 10:00 hours prompt,” the letter read.
However, instead of honoring the invitation, Achimugu reportedly left Nigeria on March 6. Following her alleged departure, the EFCC obtained an arrest warrant and subsequently declared her wanted.
