Court Orders EFCC to Release Aisha Achimugu.
The Federal High Court in Abuja has mandated the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to release businesswoman and socialite, Aisha Achimugu, within a 24-hour timeframe. Justice Inyang Ekwo issued the order on Wednesday, following Achimugu’s arrest by EFCC operatives at Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport on Tuesday.
While the EFCC presented Achimugu before the court earlier on Wednesday, the court has now directed all parties involved to report compliance with the release order by May 2, 2025. The reasons underpinning Achimugu’s arrest and the subsequent court order remain a matter of public interest and further developments are anticipated.
