The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has said that the ongoing probe of a billionaire, Ms Aisha Achimugu has nothing to do with ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar and Lagos Governor Babajide Sanwoolu.
It also said her investigation has no immediate or remote nexus with any politician or any veiled or open reference to any political engagement or transaction.
It restated that Aisha Achimugu is being investigated for alleged criminal conspiracy and money laundering.
It said the investigation started in 2022 before the present administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu came to power.
The EFCC made the clarifications in a statement by its Head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale.
The statement reads: “The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), wishes to react to media reports linking its investigations of Ms. Aisha Achimugu with political undercurrents involving former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
“We wish to state unequivocally that the investigations of Achimugu have no correlation of any kind with the two political actors.
“She is being investigated for alleged criminal conspiracy and money laundering and has since been declared wanted by the commission.”
The EFCC said the investigation started in 2022 before the present administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu came to power.
