Nigerian businesswoman, Aisha Achimugu, who is currently wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), over alleged criminal conspiracy and money laundering is reportedly hiding in Grenada.
Grenada is an island nation located in the eastern Caribbean Sea, part of the West Indies, and is known as the “Isle of Spice”.
A former presidential spokesman and publisher of Point-blank news, Mr. Ude Jackson, while quoting insider sources, revealed that Achimugu before she was declared wanted by the anti-graft agency, left the United Kingdom (UK) where she had been hiding for weeks to Grenada.
He said Achimugu obtained Grenadian citizenship through investment and she is very close to the Prime Minister of Grenada, Honourable Dickon Mitchell.
According to Jackson Ude, Achimugu facilitated the meeting of the Prime Minister with Governor Sanwo-Olu in October 2024.
He said, “Aisha Sulaiman Achimugu, Governor Jide Sanwo-Olu’s side chick, is hiding in the Island nation of Grenada. Achimugu, according to insiders, left the United Kingdom, UK, where she had been hiding for weeks now to Grenada.
“Achimugu obtained Grenadian citizenship through investment. She is very close to the Prime Minister of Grenada, Honourable Dickon Mitchell.
“She facilitated the meeting of the Prime Minister with the Governor Sanwo-Olu in October 2024.
“In January 2024, Sanwo-olu was in Grenada celebrating Achimugu’s birthday. After several denials, I posted photos and videos of the two lovers in Grenada.
“Sanwo-Olu had claimed he went to Grenada on an official visit but video evidence confirmed he was in the Island Nation to celebrate with his side chick.
“The scandal earned the Lagos Governor the nickname “SanwoKpekus,” after it emerged he bankrolled the Grenada birthday party of Ms. Achimugu whose husband was the first Nigerian to die of the Covid-19.”
Before now, News Band Newspaper reported that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) last week, declared Aisha Achimugu wanted.
A public notice issued by the commission said the Kogi-born woman is wanted over alleged criminal conspiracy and money laundering
The public notice reads, “The public is hereby notified that AISHA SULAIMAN ACHIMUGU, whose photograph appears above is wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in an alleged case of Criminal Conspiracy and Money Laundering.
“Achimugu, 51, is an indigene of Ofu Local Governement Area of Kogi State and her last known address is: 6C, Rudolf Close, Maitama, Abuja.

Achimugu was recently accused of receiving campaign funds allegedly from Lagos governor on behalf of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar during the 2023 presidential election.
But Atiku, in a statement issued by his spokesman, Paul Ibe and titled, “Halt This Tinubu’s Voyage of Misadventure and Campaign of Calumny Against Atiku Abubakar,” dismissed the claim.
“The reports in a section of the media that the Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, through Ms. Aisha Achimugu, made available to Atiku Abubakar, Vice President of Nigeria (1999–2007), money purportedly belonging to Lagos State is not true.
“It may interest Nigerians to note that the Waziri of Adamawa does not know Governor Sanwo-Olu and has never met him before”, the statement reads.
Aisha Achimugu is the managing director and chief executive officer of Felak Concept Group, a company specialising in civil, structural, and transportation engineering.
Over the years, the group has expanded its services to include consultancy and transaction advisory services, maritime operations, and environmental waste management, serving both private and public sector clients.
