Aisha Achimugu arrives court for ‘money laundering’ trial

 The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has
brought Aisha Achimugu before a federal high court in Abuja.

 

The managing director and chief executive officer (CEO) of
Felak Concept Group was arrested at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in
Abuja at about 5 am on Tuesday after arriving in Nigeria from London.

 

The anti-graft agency had declared the socialite wanted for
alleged money laundering on March 28.

 

On Monday, the federal high court in Abuja ordered Achimugu
to appear before the EFCC on Tuesday in connection with an alleged money
laundering case.

 

Inyang Ekwo, the presiding judge, also directed the EFCC to
present Achimugu before the court on Wednesday.

 

The judge gave the order following a suit filed by Achimugu,
seeking an interim injunction to prevent security agencies from arresting or
harassing her.

 

During the court proceedings, Kehinde Ogunwumiju, counsel to
Achimugu, told the court that his client had expressed a willingness to honour
the EFCC invitation on April 29 once she returns to the country.
