The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has declared businesswoman and socialite Aisha Achimugu wanted for alleged criminal conspiracy and money laundering.

According to a public notice issued by EFCC spokesperson Dele Oyewale on Friday, Achimugu is accused of involvement in a case of criminal conspiracy and money laundering.

Achimugu, 51, is from Ofu Local Government Area of Kogi State, and her last known address is in Maitama, Abuja. The EFCC has urged anyone with information on her whereabouts to contact the commission or the nearest police station.

The declaration comes after Achimugu was accused of receiving campaign funds from Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on behalf of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar during the 2023 presidential election. However, Atiku’s office has denied the claim.

It’s worth noting that a coalition of civil society groups has questioned the EFCC’s claims, stating that Achimugu is not on the run and is actually out of the country to attract foreign investors for her oil business.
