The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has declared businesswoman and socialite Aisha Achimugu wanted over allegations of criminal conspiracy and money laundering.
EFCC spokesperson Dele Oyewale announced this in a circular posted on the agency’s X handle on Friday, March 28.
“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 statement read.
Achimugu, 51, is from Ofu Local Government Area in Kogi State, and her last known address is 6C, Rudolf Close, Maitama, Abuja.
The commission urged anyone with information on her whereabouts to contact any of its offices nationwide or reach out via its helpline, email, or the nearest police station.

Achimugu was initially summoned to appear at the EFCC’s Port Harcourt office on March 5 over an alleged money laundering case and a high-profile investment scam.
A letter dated March 4, signed by the EFCC’s acting zonal director in Port Harcourt, Adebayo Adeniyi, had requested her presence for questioning.
“This commission is currently investigating a case in which the need to obtain certain clarification from you becomes imperative,” the letter stated. “In view of the above, you are kindly requested to attend an interview with the undersigned through the Head of Investigation on Wednesday, 5th March 2025, by 10:00 hours prompt.”
However, rather than honouring the summons, Achimugu reportedly left Nigeria on March 6.
Following her alleged departure, the EFCC obtained an arrest warrant and officially declared her wanted.
