Sociocultural group, Middle-Belt Youth Forum (MBYF), has called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to stop what it described as political witchhunt and leave businesswoman Aisha Achimugu alone.

LEADERSHIP reports that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had declared Achimugu wanted. The agency’s spokesman, Dele Oyewale, made this known in a circular released via the EFCC’s X handle on Friday.

According to the EFCC, Achimugu is wanted by the agency in an alleged case of criminal conspiracy and money laundering.

But, reacting to the development, the sociocultural group, in a statement by its spokesperson, Comrade Meliga Godwin, claimed that Achimugu is innocent of the allegations and is a victim of political witchhunt.

The group described the allegations as frivolous, baseless and a plot to tarnish the good image of the businesswoman and philanthropist.

They appealed to President Bola Tinubu to call the agency to order, saying that in line with his campaign promise of maintaining rule of law, he allow the EFCC to run amok, in a possible bid to please some political actors.

The youth group said, “Aisha is not a politician, she doesn’t do business with politicians. She is a self-made businesswoman, her family has been in business of oil and gas. She worked through the ladder. When has knowing a politician amount to having access to the vault of a state? She worked so hard to build her career and she hasn’t been involved in any form of money laundering.

“This is an attempt to tarnish her reputation, a pure political gang-up. Coming up with frivolous allegations that she gave money to Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi. She’s innocent of the allegations and neither is she working for Lagos State government. If she’s friends with Governor Sanwo-Olu, how does that amount to a criminal offence??

“The EFCC shouldn’t allow the agency to be used for political witchhunt. It’s deliberate character assassination. This is aimed at tarnishing the reputation she worked so hard to build and slowing down her business interests. President Tinubu promised to run a government that obeys rule of law. We urge him to call the EFCC to order to stop this political witchhunt and madness. Aisha has been so committed, she believes in the Nigerian project and has empowered so many people. She has renewed hope of so many youth and women in line with President Tinubu’s agenda. The allegations are frivolous and baseless and should be withdrawn immediately.”
