How EFCC’s Actions Jeopardised My Family, Visa and Assets — Aisha Achimugu Denies Criminal Claims

Aisha Achimugu, founder of Oceangate Engineering Oil & Gas, says the EFCC has wrongly portrayed her as a criminal. She claims the anti-graft agency instigated the revocation of her US visa and spread false information that harmed her investments and business opportunities. A Federal Capital Territory court ordered the forfeiture of her assets, including jewellery worth ₦4.65 billion, 11 luxury vehicles valued at ₦4.29 billion, $50,000 and ₦30 million in cash. Another ruling seized $13 million she says was part of a legitimate $20 million payment to the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission for oil block licences. Achimugu alleges EFCC officers raided her home twice, removed valuables and vehicles, and frightened her family — including her mother who had just returned from spinal surgery. She says officers failed to protect her property during seizures. She insists she is not a criminal, has appealed the forfeiture orders and is waiting on the outcome. Achimugu also claims the commission’s actions blocked her from attending an executive programme at Harvard and damaged her reputation locally and internationally.
