Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered businesswoman Aisha Achimugu to appear before the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on April 29, 2025.
The court also directed Achimugu to be present before it on April 30, 2025, to continue proceedings in the matter.
The EFCC is investigating Achimugu for alleged financial crimes, including conspiracy, obtaining money by false pretense, money laundering, and corruption.
Achimugu had initially honored an invitation on February 12, 2024, but allegedly failed to meet subsequent reporting obligations.
The EFCC investigation revealed that Achimugu’s company acquired two oil blocks at the cost of $25.3 million, with payments made in cash through bureau de change operators.
The commission also alleged that the acquisition process was riddled with corruption and that neither of the oil blocks had commenced exploration or production activities.
Achimugu operated a total of 136 bank accounts across 10 banks in both her personal and corporate names.
The case is scheduled to continue on April 30, 2025, while Achimugu is expected to report to the EFCC on April 29 as ordered by the court.
