Aisha Achimugu
By Victory Oghene
Popular buusinesswoman and socialite, Aisha Achimugu was not taken into custody by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Her personal media aide, David Abakpa, while reacting said the reports on two blogs were sponsored statement “fake news”.
Abakpa attributed the report captioned “EFCC arrests flamboyant aocialite, Aisha Achimugu” to the cheap handiwork of the enemies of his principal.
While urging the public to disregard the fake news, he noted that Mrs. Achimugu is not in the country and so could not have been arrested by the EFCC.
He said the unfounded rumour was a calculated attempt by unscrupulous elements bent on tarnishing the hard-earned reputation of Achimugu by all means.
The statement reads in part: “It is a lie sponsored by enemies! Aisha Achimugu is never arrested or detained by the EFCC. Anyone can confirm from the Commission.
“Aisha Achimugu, in the first place, is not in the country. She left the country on a business trip last week.
“Mrs. Achimugu is a law abiding Nigerian who is highly respected internationally for her legitimate dealings. She is well known for creating jobs for Nigerian youths, thereby impacting the economy with her businesses.”
