EFCC ARRESTS BUSINESSWOMAN AISHA ACHIMUGU AT ABUJA AIRPORT OVER MONEY LAUNDERING ALLEGATIONS. (PHOTO).

 EFCC Arrests Businesswoman Aisha Achimugu at Abuja Airport Over Money Laundering Allegations


Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) arrested prominent businesswoman Aisha Achimugu at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja around 5 a.m. on Tuesday, shortly after her arrival from London. The arrest follows her declaration as a wanted person in March for alleged criminal conspiracy and money laundering.


A senior EFCC official confirmed the arrest to newsmen, though EFCC spokesperson Dele Oyewale has yet to issue an official statement. Achimugu’s lawyer, Chikaosolu Ojukwu (SAN), verified the development, stating that his client returned voluntarily to honor an EFCC invitation but was detained upon arrival. Ojukwu condemned the arrest as a violation of a court order, noting that Achimugu has begun a hunger strike to protest what he described as a breach of her fundamental rights. “She is a prisoner of conscience,” he said.


The arrest comes a day after Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court in Abuja ordered Achimugu to appear before the EFCC on Tuesday and in court on Wednesday, April 30, 2025. The ruling stemmed from a suit Achimugu filed against multiple law enforcement agencies, including the EFCC, Nigeria Police Force, and Department of State Services, among others.


EFCC investigations allege Achimugu’s involvement in conspiracy, obtaining money by false pretense, money laundering, corruption, and possession of property acquired through unlawful means. According to an affidavit by EFCC investigator Chris Odofin, Achimugu previously honored an EFCC invitation on February 12, 2024, providing a statement and securing administrative bail. However, she allegedly failed to comply with subsequent reporting requirements, opting instead to file a fundamental rights suit against the agency.


The EFCC claims Achimugu’s company, Oceangate Engineering Oil and Gas Limited, received N8.71 billion, which she described as an “investment fund” for acquiring an oil block. Investigations revealed her company acquired two oil blocks—Shallow Water PPL 3007 and Deep Offshore PPL 302-DO—for $25.3 million, allegedly paid in cash through bureau de change operators. The agency alleges the funds’ origins are untraceable to legitimate sources and that the acquisition process was marred by corruption. Neither oil block has commenced exploration or production, according to the EFCC.


The Commission further accused Achimugu of using her ongoing lawsuit to obstruct the investigation, noting that a prior court ruling in April 2024 dismissed her claims of rights violations.
