Businesswoman Aisha Achimugu has denied reports that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) recovered $13 million from her residence, insisting that only $50,000 and ₦13 million were found during the search.
Achimugu described the earlier reports as false and exaggerated, saying the figures being circulated misrepresented what was actually discovered in her home. She maintained that the items recovered were far below the widely reported amount and challenged the narrative suggesting a massive cash haul.
According to her, the EFCC search was part of ongoing investigations, but she argued that public claims of a $13 million recovery were designed to damage her reputation and mislead the public.
Her reaction follows intense public attention around the case, especially after reports emerged linking the search to a broader financial probe. The clarification has now added a new twist to the controversy, with focus shifting to the discrepancy between the initial reports and Achimugu’s version of events.
Neither the EFCC nor other authorities had, at the time of the report, publicly issued a fresh statement directly addressing her rebuttal.
