The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has declared Aisha Sulaiman Achimugu, a socialite and businesswoman, wanted over allegations of criminal conspiracy and money laundering.
In a public notice released by the anti-graft agency on Friday, Achimugu, 51, an indigene of Ofu Local Government Area in Kogi State, is accused of financial misconduct. Her last known address was listed as 6C, Rudolf Close, Maitama, Abuja.
The EFCC has urged the public to provide any useful information regarding her whereabouts by contacting its offices across the country.
“The public is hereby notified that Aisha Sulaiman Achimugu, whose photograph appears above is wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in an alleged case of criminal conspiracy and money laundering,” the public notice reads in part.
The anti-graft commission had earlier summoned the socialite to appear at its Port Harcourt office on March 5 for alleged money laundering and investment scam. It was however reported that Achimugu shunned the invitation and travelled out of the country, prompting the EFCC to declare her wanted.
Achimugu made headlines in January 2024 for hosting her 50th birthday on the Caribbean Island for several days, alternating between Calivigny Island and Silversand Grenada.
The extravagant event, attended by prominent Nigerians, including Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos, included chartered jets for guests, opulent parties with international musicians, and an estimated cost in billions of naira.
