The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has declared Aisha Sulaiman Achimugu wanted.
Achimugu is a known ally of Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
The EFCC in a statement released on Friday by Dele Oyewale, Head, Media & Publicity, said Achimugu is being wanted in an alleged case of criminal conspiracy and money laundering.
We learnt that Achimugu is accused of secretly funnelling funds to opposition leaders Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar during the 2023 elections.
Peoples Gazzete had reported that President Bola Tinubu was “furious and felt betrayed” after receiving intelligence that funds linked to Achimugu were traced to Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
The report suggested that Tinubu viewed the situation as a serious act of political betrayal, potentially endangering Sanwo-Olu’s political career.
Ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s camp in a statement issued on Thursday described the allegation as a blatant lie from the pit of hell.
Paul Ibe, media aide to Atiku said it’s a futile campaign of calumny aimed at advancing the political interests of Tinubu.
However, on Friday, EFCC went ahead to declare Achimugu wanted.
“The public is hereby notified that AISHA SULAIMAN ACHIMUGU, whose photograph appears above is wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in an alleged case of Criminal Conspiracy and Money Laundering.
“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, Kano, Lagos, Gombe, Port Harcourt or Abuja offices or through 08093322644; its e-mail address: [email protected] or the nearest Police Station and other security agencies,” EFCC said.
