Businesswoman and socialite, Aisha Achimugu, has reportedly been detained by Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
In a statement issued to Nairametrics on Tuesday, her lawyer, Chikaosolu Ojukwu, disclosed that Achimugu voluntarily returned to Nigeria from London and was detained by EFCC operatives at approximately 5:00 a.m. that morning.
The development follows prior reports which that Achimugu’s legal team had informed the Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday of her intention to cooperate with the EFCC’s investigation.
According to court filings, Achimugu had already pledged to engage with the anti-graft agency regarding the ongoing probe into alleged criminal conspiracy and money laundering.
