Nigeria’s entrepreneur, investor and business woman, Aisha Achimugu, has declared that she’s not a criminal and disclosed that her life has been endangered by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
Achimugu, also, accused the Commission of damaging her reputation, and crippling her business because of their action against her.
The business woman, the magazine reports, recently lost property worth billions of Naira to the Federal Government after a Court in Abuja ordered their forfeiture, describing them as products of fraud.
The multi-billion Naira property, according to the EFCC, include expensive jewelry, worth over N4.6 billion ,exotic cars, worth over N4 billion, N30 million in cash and $50,000.
But Achimugu, in a statement on Wednesday, said that she’s not a criminal, and posited that she has a tight and clean reputation that has now been destroyed by the anti- graft agency.
“I have never been convicted” of any offence, she stated.
Achimugu alleged that the EFCC has engaged in “oppression, character assassination, intimidation and the deliberate dissipation of my lawfully acquired personal property,” adding that the Commission’s actions had put her, her children and her investments at risk.
She said the Commission’s repeated public statements and legal actions had unfairly portrayed her as a criminal, leading to the loss of business opportunities and reputational damage, and wondered where she went wrong with a country she has invested in, and projected positively within and outside.
