Operatives from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) conducted a raid on the Abuja residence of businesswoman and socialite, Aisha Achimugu, on Friday night.
This action followed the EFCC’s declaration of Achimugu as a wanted individual in connection with an alleged case of criminal conspiracy and money laundering.
The EFCC team arrived at Achimugu’s home in Asokoro around 9 p.m. on Friday to search the property, but the businesswoman was not present at the time.
According to sources, Achimugu’s elderly mother, children, and domestic staff were at the house during the search. However, no additional details about the investigation’s progress have been shared.
The atmosphere at the residence was reportedly tense as the EFCC operatives carried out the search, but Achimugu, who is currently evading arrest, was not found. Earlier on Friday, the EFCC had issued a public notice, urging anyone with information regarding her whereabouts to come forward.
The Commission’s statement identified Achimugu, 51, as a native of Ofu Local Government Area in Kogi State, with her last known address listed as 6C, Rudolf Close, Maitama, Abuja. It also included a photograph of Achimugu, calling for the public’s assistance in locating her.
The EFCC urged individuals with information to contact any of its state offices or report to the nearest police station or security agency.
