Aisha Achimugu
There are close to 20 companies linked to flamboyant socialite, Aisha Achimugu, who’s currently cooling her heels in the cell of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
On account of the on-going investigation into the $250millon alleged fraud and money laundering, the Corporate Affairs Commission, CAC, is under pressure to doctor records of the 20 companies linked to Mrs Achimugu.

The 20 companies registered with the CAC are sharing common addresses and linked to Achimugu were allegedly used to commit fraud and other crimes including the diversion of $250million tagged “2027 election funds” kept under her care by a Governor.
The money said to be donations from corporate and highly placed individuals for “2027 elections projects”, were allegedly kept in the Governor’s care who in turn gave same to Achimugu for safekeeping in a special account.
Achimugu is alleged to have split the funds in several accounts belonging to her and misappropriated same. The inability of the Governor to account for the funds when asked and linking Achimugu as the custodian of the huge sums, prompted investigations when the $250million was not traceable to the primary account it was lodged.
CAC insiders said some persons apparently working for Achimugu made contact to the Commission requesting help to remove her from directorship of some of the 20 companies linked to her being investigated by the EFCC.
“Some persons, some of them lawyers, have reached out to us requesting the possibility of changing the directorship or ownership of companies registered here that are linked to Mrs. Achimugu,” a CAC source said.
The implication is that should any changes be made, Achimugu might claim in court that she knows nothing orinvolved with any of the companies being investigated.
