(In Nigeria) Businesswoman Aisha Achimugu Arrested at Abuja Airport in EFCC Probe Over Alleged Money Laundering

 Aisha Achimugu, a prominent Nigerian businesswoman and socialite, has been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) upon her return to the country from London. The EFCC had previously declared her wanted over allegations of criminal conspiracy and money laundering.  According to her legal team, Achimugu was apprehended at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja early today, shortly after her arrival. She was subsequently taken into EFCC custody.

The arrest marks a significant development in the ongoing investigation into Achimugu's alleged involvement in financial crimes. Her legal team is likely to provide further clarification on the circumstances surrounding her arrest and the allegations against her.  As the widow of Suleiman Achimugu, Aisha Achimugu's arrest has attracted considerable attention, given her high profile in Nigerian society. The EFCC's actions demonstrate their commitment to pursuing individuals suspected of financial crimes, regardless of their social status.

Mrs Aisha Achimugu's legal team insists that their client who was declared wanted earlier in March, voluntarily returned to the country. Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court, Abuja, also previously ordered that Mrs Achimugu must be presented to The Court before Wednesday, 30th April.
