Prominent businesswoman Aisha Sulaiman Achimugu has appeared before Justice Iyang Ekwo at the Federal High Court in Abuja amid ongoing investigations by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission into alleged financial crimes.
The EFCC is probing charges of criminal conspiracy and money laundering. Achimugu initially honoured an EFCC invitation in February, providing a written statement before being granted administrative bail.
However, her failure to appear for further questioning prompted legal concerns.
In a twist, she filed a fundamental rights suit against the commission, challenging the investigation. But on her return from London on April twenty-nine, she was arrested by EFCC officials at the airport.
Her court appearance marks a crucial point in what is shaping into a high-stakes investigation.
The EFCC insists its probe continues in the interest of justice and transparency.
