The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have arraigned popular businesswoman and socialite, Aisha Achimugu before a Federal High Court in Abuja on Wednesday, April 30 following a court order.
The anti-graft agency had earlier arrested Achimugu, the Managing Director (MD) and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Felak Concept Group on Tuesday, April 29 around 5a.m at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja upon her arrival from London, United Kingdom (UK) for money laundering.
The Federal High Court in Abuja had earlier ordered Achimugu to appear before the EFCC on Tuesday, April 29 in connection with the case.
Justice Inyang Ekwo, who is presiding over the matter, also instructed the EFCC to produce Achimugu in court on Wednesday, April 30.
This directive followed a lawsuit filed by Achimugu, requesting a temporary court order to prevent law enforcement agencies from arresting or harassing her.
During the hearing, her lawyer, Kehinde Ogunwumiju, informed the court that Achimugu had shown her readiness to meet with the EFCC on Tuesday, April 29 after her return to Nigeria.
