The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has arrested businesswoman, Aisha Achimugu at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.
Sources in the EFCC say Achimugu was arrested around 5am this tuesday shortly after her return from London.
Achimugu had been declared wanted in March by the Anti-Graft Agency over allegations of criminal conspiracy and money laundering.
On Monday, the federal high court in Abuja ordered Achimugu to appear before the EFCC on tuesday in connection with an alleged money laundering case.
Inyang Ekwo, the presiding judge, also directed the EFCC to present Achimugu before the court on wednesday.
As at the time of filing this report, the EFCC’s spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, did not respond to calls or messages on this development.
