Aisha Achimugu speaks on EFCC wanted list, says her ‘business practices respect Nigerian laws’
Aisha Achimugu, managing director/CEO of Felak Concept Group, has reacted to the decision of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to declare her wanted over money laundering allegations.
On Friday, EFCC asked persons who know the whereabouts of Achimugu to notify the agency.
The anti-graft agency had said Achimugu was declared wanted in a “case of criminal conspiracy and money laundering”.
In a statement published on her official Instagram handle on Sunday, Achimugu said she had been inundated with calls and messages from friends and families over the past few days.
The socialite said she remains a “firm believer in the rule of law and due process and will never do otherwise”.
The statement was signed by Bodex Hungbo, head of media to Achimugu.
“We express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has reached out in concern and solidarity,” the statement reads.
“Your kindness has been a source of strength during this trying period, and it reinforces our faith in our shared humanity and the values that bind us together.
“As a responsible citizen and entrepreneur, Dr. Aisha remains a firm believer in the rule of law and due process and will never do otherwise.
“We trust that these principles and justice will prevail as this matter unfolds. Our business practices have always been grounded in transparency, integrity, and respect for our nation’s laws.
“To our valued business partners, families, professional associates, and well-wishers worldwide, please be assured that she is fully committed to all processes involved as a responsible and law abiding citizen who has contributed so much to the growth of our Nation as well as being a National Asset.”
In January 2024, Achimugu made the headlines when she set the Caribbean Island of Grenada alight with a seven-day 50th birthday party attended by some of the crème de la crème of the Nigerian entertainment industry and prominent figures — including a governor.
