Her lawyers, Kehinde Ogunwumiju, SAN, and Chikaosolu Ojukwu, SAN, told Justice Inyang Ekwo during a fundamental human rights enforcement suit filed against the Nigeria Police Force, Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, State Security Service, EFCC, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, and Nigerian Immigration Service.

Mr Dele Oyewale, EFCC’s Head of Media and Publicity, released a statement urging the public to provide information about Achimugu’s whereabouts.

“The public is hereby notified that AISHA SULAIMAN ACHIMUGU is wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in an alleged case of criminal conspiracy and money laundering,” the statement read.

The EFCC is investigating a case involving conspiracy, obtaining money by false pretence, money laundering, corruption, and possessing properties reasonably suspected to have been unlawfully obtained.

The multi-million-dollar case allegedly involves MBA Trading and Capital Limited, the applicant, among others.

Recall that the trial court, in response to Achimugu’s suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/626/2025, had on April 11 ordered the EFCC and five other security agencies to file their responses to her suit, which seeks to restrain her planned arrest and detention.

At the Monday court session, Ogunwumiju said the matter was adjourned to allow the respondents to show cause why his client’s reliefs should not be granted.

He added that, unfortunately, the applicant was only served with the respondents’ counter-affidavits on Friday evening, along with applications for an extension of time.

Ogunwumiju highlighted that in the affidavit supporting the originating processes, the applicant indicated that she “will attend her interview before the EFCC tomorrow, 29th April 2025,” and that she has expressed her willingness to cooperate with the investigation, contrary to the EFCC’s assertions.

He further submitted that, regarding the EFCC’s invitation, the applicant already enjoys bail, and the Court can order that she return the next day and continue on the same bail conditions.

“We will be asking for an order to restrain the respondents from further harassing her,” he submitted.

EFCC counsel Ekene Iheanacho responded that the Court had given judgment on February 19, 2025, setting aside an earlier application made by the same applicant to enforce her rights.

The judge responded, “We are not discussing the substantive matter now. What they are looking at is for you to show why the application she has prayed for in the Motion Ex-Parte should not be granted.”

The judge further said he saw no controversy if the applicant had stated she would appear at the EFCC on a specific date, adding, “Unless you are denying this averment.”
