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.
Why it matters:

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.
