The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Wednesday brought Aisha Achimugu before the Federal High Court in Abuja in response to a recent court order.
The move followed earlier instructions given by Justice Inyang Ekwo, who directed that the businesswoman must appear at the anti-corruption agency’s office and then be presented in court.
Achimugu arrived at the court around 11:35 am, accompanied closely by two female EFCC officials.
Her presence marked a key step in the ongoing investigation into an alleged case of money laundering.
The court’s directive had come on Monday after claims that Achimugu had left the country despite being wanted by the EFCC.
The judge insisted she must show up at the agency’s office by noon on Tuesday.
Upon arrival in Nigeria around 5 am that same day, EFCC operatives took her into custody.
The agency complied with the court’s instructions by bringing her in on Wednesday to give an update on the matter.
Further developments are expected as the case continues.
