The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has declared businesswoman and socialite Aisha Achimugu wanted over allegations of criminal conspiracy and money laundering.
The anti-graft agency made the announcement on Friday through its spokesman, Dele Oyewale, in a public notice shared via its official X handle.
According to the EFCC, 51-year-old Achimugu is under investigation for her alleged involvement in a complex money laundering scheme and a high-profile investment scam.
The commission had earlier summoned her to appear at its Port Harcourt zonal office on March 5, 2025, for questioning.
However, rather than honoring the invitation, she reportedly left Nigeria on March 6, prompting the EFCC to secure an arrest warrant and subsequently declare her wanted.
Achimugu’s last known address is 6C, Rudolf Close, Maitama, Abuja. The EFCC has urged anyone with useful information to contact any of its offices across the country or report to law enforcement agencies.
Citizens can also report any sightings or information about Achimugu’s whereabouts through the EFCC’s official channels.
The case against Achimugu is tied to a multi-billion naira investment scheme that allegedly defrauded multiple individuals and institutions.
As the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Felak Concept Group, Achimugu has been linked to several high-profile ventures, but in recent months, her name has surfaced in reports of dubious financial dealings.
The EFCC’s declaration of Achimugu as wanted has sparked widespread attention, with many calling for her to be brought to justice.
The case is expected to set a precedent for how Nigeria handles financial crime suspects who flee before prosecution.
