The operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), have reportedly arrested business executive and socialite, Aisha Achimugu, her legal team confirmed on Tuesday.
Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Chikaosolu Ojukwu, revealed that Achimugu, who voluntarily returned from London, was arrested by EFCC operatives around 5 a.m. upon her arrival at the airport.
Achimugu’s lawyers had informed the Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday that she would present herself to the EFCC on Tuesday, April 29, in compliance with an ongoing investigation into allegations of criminal conspiracy and money laundering.
According to Ojukwu, the arrest contravenes the spirit of the undertaking made in court.
