The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) operatives raided the Abuja residence of businesswoman and socialite, Aisha Achimugu, on Friday night.
The search followed the Commission’s declaration of Achimugu as a wanted person in connection with an alleged criminal conspiracy and money laundering case.
According to reports, EFCC officials arrived at Achimugu’s home in the upscale Asokoro district around 9 p.m. for the operation. However, she was not present during the search.
Sources revealed that Achimugu’s elderly mother, children, and domestic staff were at the residence at the time.
No further details regarding the outcome of the search or the investigation’s progress have been disclosed.
Witnesses described the atmosphere at the residence as tense as EFCC operatives conducted their operation. Despite efforts to locate her, Achimugu remains at large.
Earlier on Friday, the EFCC issued a public notice, calling on anyone with information about her whereabouts to come forward.
The Commission’s statement identified Achimugu, 51, as a native of Ofu Local Government Area in Kogi State. Her last known address was listed as 6C, Rudolf Close, Maitama, Abuja.
The EFCC also released her photograph, urging the public to assist in locating her.
The Commission emphasized that individuals with relevant information should report to any of its state offices or contact the nearest police station or security agency.
