Aisha Achimugu

Aisha Achimugu, the Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Felak Concept Group is literally swimming in troubled waters as she’s alleged to have diverted the sum of $250million given to her by a sitting Governor meant for the purpose of 2027 election.
Not only that, operatives from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, (EFCC) with a search warrant, broke into No 61 Hassan Usman Kastina street, home of Mrs Achimugu and found N30million cash, $50,000 cash, boxes of Gold, Diamonds and Silver jewelries worth over N1billion, according to Court documents.
This is coming as more information surfaced that part of the reasons for Achimugu’s investigations have to do with a missing or squandered $250million 2027 campaign funds given to her by a Governor (names withheld) for safekeeping.
Insiders squealed that the Governor had kept the funds with Achimugu but when asked to account for it, the $250million had been transferred to several other accounts owned by her and squandered.
The EFCC is now investigating 136 bank accounts in 10 different banks both in her personal and corporate names. She uses 20 different companies with almost common addresses.
“The issue is deeper than what most people know. The Governor put himself in a mess when he went and kept that $250million in an account belonging to Aisha. Aisha has messed with the funds and cannot account for it anymore. This is why all these things are happening,” said a dependable source.
Achimugu who was recently declared wanted by the EFCC for alleged fraud and money laundering is currently in hiding in London.
Efforts to speak to Florence Hungbo, media aide to Mrs Aisha Achimugu on the development failed as calls to her mobile phone were not answered neither were the text messages acknowledged.
