EFCC declares socialite Aisha Achimugu wanted over money laundering allegations

Aisha Achimugu

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has officially declared Aisha Achimugu, a prominent businesswoman and managing director of Felak Concept Group, wanted over alleged criminal conspiracy and money laundering.

In a public notice issued on Friday, March 28, 2025, EFCC spokesperson Dele Oyewale revealed that Achimugu, 51, hails from Ofu Local Government Area in Kogi State. Her last known address is Rudolf Close, Maitama, Abuja. 

In a post on its social media pages on Friday, Oyewale wrote: 

“Achimugu, 51, is an indigene of Ofu Local Government Area of Kogi State and her last known address is: 6C, Rudolf Close, Maitama, Abuja.

“Anybody with useful information as to her whereabouts should please contact the commission in its Ibadan, Uyo, Sokoto, Maiduguri, Benin, Makurdi, Kaduna, Ilorin, Enugu, Lagos, Gombe, Port Harcourt or Abuja offices.”
 
Information making the rounds alleges that Achimugu had previously been summoned by the EFCC on March 5, 2025, for questioning regarding alleged investment scams and substantial financial transactions under investigation. 

Instead of appearing before the commission, she reportedly fled Nigeria between March 6 and 7. Subsequently, the EFCC obtained an arrest warrant and declared her wanted.

Achimugu gained public attention in January 2024 with a lavish seven-day celebration of her 50th birthday in Grenada, attended by high-profile figures, including Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu. 

Following the event, the Federal Capital Territory Internal Revenue Service reportedly reminded her to fulfill her tax obligations.

Responding to the lavish party in a statement on X, the FIRS said: “The FCT-Internal Revenue Service extends our warmest birthday wishes to you! May this special day be filled with joy and blessings. Remember to fulfill your tax obligations by filing your annual tax returns.”

Her media aide has denied the allegations, claiming they are politically motivated. However, EFCC documents confirm an active investigation into her activities.
