Abuja-based business magnate and socialite, Aisha Sulaiman Achimugu, is set to appear before the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) today, April 29, 2025, following her declaration as wanted over alleged involvement in a multimillion-naira fraud case linked to MBA Trading and Capital Limited. Achimugu’s legal team confirmed her intention to honor the EFCC’s summons, aiming to clear her name from accusations of criminal conspiracy, money laundering, and possession of unlawfully obtained properties.
During a session at the Federal High Court in Abuja, her attorneys, Kehinde Ogunwumiju, SAN, and Chikaosolu Ojukwu, SAN, informed Justice Inyang Ekwo of her commitment to cooperate with the investigation. They emphasized that Achimugu had previously been granted administrative bail and expressed her willingness to assist the EFCC in its inquiries.
Justice Ekwo acknowledged the EFCC’s claim that Achimugu had violated bail conditions by failing to respond to invitations. However, he noted her affidavit stating her readiness to appear before the commission on the specified date. The judge ordered that upon her appearance today, the EFCC must report back to the court on April 30, 2025, detailing her compliance.
The EFCC, through its spokesperson Dele Oyewale, had previously called on the public to provide information regarding Achimugu’s whereabouts, citing her alleged involvement in fraudulent activities associated with MBA Trading and Capital Limited. The commission’s investigation encompasses charges of obtaining money by false pretenses and corruption.
Achimugu, who serves as the Group Managing Director and CEO of Felak Concept Group—a conglomerate with interests in engineering, maritime, oil and gas, and information technology—has been a prominent figure in Nigeria’s business landscape. Her recent legal challenges have drawn significant public attention, given her status and the scale of the allegations.
The unfolding events surrounding Achimugu’s case underscore the EFCC’s intensified efforts to combat financial crimes and hold influential individuals accountable. As the proceedings continue, the public and stakeholders await further developments in this high-profile investigation.
Achimugu’s appearance before the EFCC today marks a critical juncture in the case, potentially setting the stage for subsequent legal actions based on the commission’s findings and her level of cooperation.
