EFCC storms Aisha Achimugu’s Abuja home after declaring her wanted

Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) operatives have stormed the Abuja home of the fleeing businesswoman and socialite, Aisha Achimugu on Friday, hours after she was declared wanted by the agency.

The EFCC operatives reportedly arrived at her home at about 9 p.m. for a search Friday, but did not find the businesswoman at home.

It was reported that Ms Aisha’s aged mother, her children, and domestic aides were present in her home during the search by the EFCC operatives.

Earlier on Friday, the EFCC published an official gazette asking anyone with useful information about Ms Achimugu’s whereabouts to “contact the Commission in its Ibadan, Uyo, Sokoto, Maiduguri, Benin, Makurdi, Kaduna, Ilorin, Enugu, Kano, Lagos, Gombe, Port Harcourt or Abuja offices.

In a circular released on Friday on the EFCC’s X handle, the agency’s spokesman, Dele Oyewale, said Achimugu was wanted in an alleged case of criminal conspiracy and money laundering.
