The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested businesswoman Aisha Sulaiman Achimugu at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja.
According to a statement from her legal team on Tuesday, Achimugu was taken into custody around 5 a.m. after she voluntarily returned to Nigeria from London.
Her arrest is connected to an ongoing investigation into allegations of criminal conspiracy and money laundering.
Earlier, her lawyer had informed the Federal High Court in Abuja that she would report to the EFCC on Tuesday, as required by a court order.
Justice Inyang Ekwo had directed her to appear before the commission on April 29, 2025, and also to be present in court the next day, April 30, for further proceedings.
