Anger Rises As EFCC Invades Achimugu’s Residence, Allegedly Harasses Mum

By Akinwale Kasali

An Arewa Group  of Lawyers has risen in anger over the invasion of the home of prominent socialite and businesswoman, Aisha Suleiman Achimugu, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

Achimugu’s Abuja home, located on Number 51, Hassan Katsina, Asokoro, was, reportedly invaded by Operatives of the EFCC hours after the Commission declared her wanted.

She had been invited through a letter dated February 4, 2025, by the EFCC to appear in its Port Harcourt Zonal Headquarters on March 5, 2025.

It is an invitation she did not honour and instead, allegedly, travelled out of the country.

That prompted the EFCC to declare her wanted, and thereafter, reportedly, invaded her home in a fruitless search for her.

In her absence, the Operatives met her aged mother, whom, it is alleged, they harassed.

It is the alleged harassment of   Achimugu’s aged mother which has irked the Arewa Group and Lawyers.

In a statement which condemned, in strong language, the alleged harassment of Achimugu’s mother, the Groups said: “Just when we and other Nigerians thought it was over having declared Achimugu wanted over yet unsubstantiated allegations of criminal conspiracy and money laundering, the armed men of EFCC have invaded her house.

“Despicably, at Aisha’s house located onto 51, Hassan Katsina in Asokoro, Abuja, the Operatives resorted to the harassment of her old mother who may not be aware of the allegations.

“We condemn this brazen act of assault in its entirety and call on relevant authorities, civil societies, the media and the public to rise up and protect the innocent old woman and other members of Alisha ‘s family.”
