I honoured EFCC invitation - Achimugu

Business woman Mrs. Aisha Achimugu has said she honoured an invitation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

She thanked the anti-graft agency for its professionalism.

Achimugu’s lawyers, Kehinde Ogunwumiju (SAN) and Chikaosolu Ojukwu (SAN), said in a statement that Achimumu arrived in Nigeria early Tuesday in response to the EFCC invitation of March 4 to assist in an ongoing investigation.

The statement reads: “Mrs. Achimugu had been temporarily out of the country due to several other scheduled incidents when the EFCC issued its invitation. 

“In line with her respect for lawful institutions and her sense of civic duty, she communicated openly and consistently with the EFCC during her time abroad. 

“She formally wrote to the Commission twice on 5th and 12th March, 2025, clearly stating her commitment to return and make herself available to assist in the ongoing investigation at the earliest time. Both letters outlined April 28th and 29th, as her confirmed return date.

“Upon landing at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja at 5:00am, Mrs. Achimugu, without delay, proceeded directly to the EFCC headquarters, fulfilling her promise and demonstrating her respect for due process and the integrity of Nigeria’s anti-corruption institutions.
