Aisha Achimugu: Nigerian businesswoman speaks out on EFCC ordeal

NIGERIAN BUSINESS LEADER AND INVESTOR SPEAKS OUT: “PROTECTION OF LIFE AND RESPECT FOR THE RULE OF LAW” This is a call for the protection of my life, the lives of my children, the protection of my privacy, an end to the misleading media trial on my person and the companies I have built with credibility and capacity over several years, the respect of Court Orders, and the protection of over $100 Million I have within the Oil & Gas sector, and several sectors both in Nigeria and International.

Today, I am compelled to address both the local and international press in connection with what can best be described as a sustained campaign of calumny that threatens not just my personal rights to life and property, but the lives of my young children, aged parents, extended family and staff, and also the enabling environment for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Nigeria.

Nonetheless, sometime in 2023, the Port Harcourt zonal office of the EFCC wrongly froze all my personal bank accounts, those of my children, my companies within the Felak Group, and the group account itself, having misled the Federal High Court (FHC) into granting an order of interim forfeiture, on the mistaken premise that I was a partner, associate, director or shareholder of a company called MBA Forex and Capital Investment.
