The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has officially declared Aisha Sulaiman Achimugu, a 51-year-old businesswoman and socialite, wanted on charges of criminal conspiracy and money laundering. The announcement was made public on March 28, 2025, and includes the release of her photograph to aid in her apprehension.

Achimugu, originally from Ofu Local Government Area in Kogi State, was last known to reside at 6C, Rudolf Close, Maitama, Abuja. The EFCC has urged anyone with information regarding her whereabouts to contact any of its offices nationwide or reach out via the provided telephone number and email address.
Prior to this declaration, the EFCC had summoned Achimugu to appear at its Port Harcourt office on March 5, 2025, for interrogation concerning alleged money laundering and involvement in a high-profile investment scam. Reports indicate that she failed to honor this invitation and subsequently left the country between March 6 and 7, 2025.
The EFCC's investigation into Achimugu has been ongoing since 2022. She had previously obtained a court injunction preventing her arrest or detention; however, this injunction was overturned by a Federal High Court in Abuja on February 19, 2025. The court ruled that law enforcement agencies, including the EFCC, have the authority to investigate crimes when there is reasonable suspicion or evidence of wrongdoing.
In light of these developments, the EFCC continues to seek public assistance in locating Achimugu to address the allegations against her.
