Contrary to rumours making the rounds, the popular businesswoman and socialite, Aisha Achimugu was not arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission ,EFCC.
According to her media aide, David Abakpa, the reported arrest of his principal on two blogs were sponsored “fake news”.
Abakpa said the report captioned “EFCC arrests flamboyant socialite, Aisha Achimugu” was the handiwork of the enemies of his principal.
He urged the public to disregard the fake news, pointing out that Mrs. Achimugu is not in the country and 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.”
