Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has directed the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, to ensure the release of businesswoman, Aisha Achimugu on the Commission’s bail conditions.
This order was made on Wednesday, April 30, 2025 after the court was informed that Achimugu’s previous bail to her lawyer was revoked by the Commission and fresh conditions were issued.
During the proceeding, an attempt by her counsel, Kehinde Ogunwumiju SAN, to seek for the variation of the terms of the bail was opposed by the Commission’s counsel, E.E Iheanacho SAN and rejected by the court following which the same was withdrawn.
Achimugu is being investigated by the Commission for alleged conspiracy, money laundering, obtaining under false pretence, corruption and possession of properties suspected to have been acquired through unlawful means.
She was arrested on Tuesday, April 29, 2025 and brought before the court on Wednesday.
Justice Ekwo, in a short ruling, said the Commission should expedite actions to ensure the processing of all bail conditions and directed all parties to report on compliance with the directive on May 2, 2025
