Aisha Sulaiman Achimugu, an ally of Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has been nabbed at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Abuja following weeks of being declared wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC.

Achimugu was arrested on Tuesday morning at 5 am on her return to Nigeria from London.

Confirming her arrest, her lawyer, Chief Chikaosolu Ojukwu, said, “Aisha Achimugu, who arrived voluntarily into the country from London, was arrested by the EFCC around 5 a.m. on Tuesday.”
