A Federal High Court in Abuja has directed businesswoman Aisha Achimugu, reportedly close to Lagos Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, to honour an EFCC invitation regarding an alleged money laundering investigation.
Here’s what we know so far:
- According to Premium Times, the EFCC approached the court after Mrs. Achimugu allegedly failed to respond to earlier invitations for questioning.
- No formal charges have been filed; details of the alleged money laundering activities have not been made public.
- Mrs. Achimugu’s political connections raise broader questions about how closely political allies are being scrutinised.
- Public reactions reflect familiar scepticism about whether this signals real accountability or is another passing episode.
- The case touches deeper concerns about trust, power, and transparency in Nigeria’s governance landscape.
While many Nigerians may doubt that anything will come of this, the move hints at the subtle, complex ways political structures are tested, even if only quietly.
