Aisha Sulaiman Achimugu, a well-known business executive and socialite, has been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) as part of an ongoing investigation into alleged money laundering and criminal conspiracy.

The arrest took place at around 5 a.m. on Tuesday, April 29, 2025, after Achimugu voluntarily returned to Nigeria from London. Her legal team confirmed that this arrest followed a court order directing her appearance before the EFCC.

Achimugu’s lawyer had previously informed the Federal High Court in Abuja that their client had indicated her intention to cooperate with the EFCC investigation. The case revolves around accusations of financial misconduct linked to Achimugu's business dealings.

The arrest is a result of a directive from Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court, who had ordered Achimugu to present herself before the EFCC on Tuesday, April 29, 2025. A follow-up hearing has been scheduled for Wednesday, April 30, 2025, to continue the legal proceedings.

This investigation is likely to have far-reaching effects on the business community, especially regarding financial transparency and accountability. As the case progresses, all eyes will be on the court hearings for further developments.
