The Federal High Court of Abuja’s Justice Inyang Ekwo has mandated that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) free Aisha Achimugu, a socialite and entrepreneur who has been imprisoned, within twenty-four hours.
In addition to issuing the order on Wednesday, the judge mandated that all parties return to court on May 2, 2025, to provide an update on the order’s progress.
The EFCC is presently investigating Achimugu for alleged offenses that include ownership of property suspected of having been obtained illegally, money laundering, corruption, obtaining money through false pretenses, and criminal conspiracy.

She had previously been released on administrative bail by the commission, but the EFCC claimed she had broken the terms of her bail, leading to her being proclaimed wanted.
In relation to the current investigation, Justice Ekwo had ordered Achimugu to surrender to the EFCC on Monday. She was also told that the agency needed to bring her before the court on Wednesday, April 30, to give an update.
The court has now mandated her immediate release within a 24-hour deadline after she appeared and the EFCC detained her.
