Aisha Achimugu: Court Grants Final Forfeiture of N4.6b Jewelries, N4.3b Exotic Cars, $50, 000 , N30, 000,000 to Government
A Federal Capital Territory, FCT, High Court sitting in Apo, Abuja, has granted a final forfeiture order of properties linked to a business woman, Ms Aisha Achimugu to the federal government.
The properties include jewelries worth N4,645,170, 294.9 billion (Fourt Billion, Six Hundred and Forty-Five Million, One Hundred and Seventy Thousand, Two Hundred and Ninety-Four Naira, Nine Kobo) eleven exotic cars worth N4.293,000, 000 (Four Billion, Two Hundred and Ninety-Three Million Naira), $50, 000( Fifty Thousand United States Dollars) and N30, 000,000 (Thirty Million Naira) cash.
Justice Jude Onwugbuzie granted the order on Thursday, July 16 2026 in a judgment on the application for final forfeiture of the properties by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
The assets were found by the EFCC as proceeds of unlawful activities. Investigations by the Commission followed its receipt of financial intelligence showing huge inflows and outflows from over 136 ( One hundred and Thirty six) bank accounts linked to Aisha Achimogu which ran into billions of naira and millions of dollars. The investigation carried out showed that the huge funds that passed through the companies operated by her were not disclosed as revenue of the companies in their financial statements filed at the Federal Inland Revenue Services (FIRS).
In the course of investigation, the Commission executed searches at the residence of Achimugu where the assets forfeited were recovered. While being interrogated, she was given Assets Declaration Form which she filled but did not disclose the recovered assets as her properties. The finding by the EFCC showed that the huge funds received into accounts linked to her were not from her legitimate business activities and that the recovered assets were not from lawful sources
Following the outcome of the investigation, the EFCC through its legal team, led by Ekele Iheanacho SAN, filed an application for an interim order forfeiting the properties to the Federal Government of Nigeria in line with Section 17 of the Advance Fee Fraud and other related offences Act.
The matter came up before Justice Jude Onwuegbuzie and on April, 23, 2026, the court granted the application and directed the EFCC to publish the said order in national dailies for any person in possession or interested in the assets to show cause within 14 days why the final forfeiture order should not be granted
EFCC complied with the order of the court and published the order. EFCC further filed a motion for final forfeiture of the properties. Achimugu through her legal team filed affidavits to show cause why the assets should not be forfeited as well as a motion to set aside the interim order. This was further opposed by the EFCC through a counter affidavit. The court took arguments from parties represented by the counsel and adjourned to July 16, 2026 for judgment.
On Thursday, the court delivered judgment and granted a final order forfeiting the assets to the federal government of Nigeria. The court found that Achimugu did not dislodge the evidence led by the EFCC and also failed to discharge the burden of showing that the assets were from lawful origins.
When EFCC arrested Malami, some paid clowns were actually on this same timeline calling it an attack on the North
Someone stole billions of naira that could have changed millions of lives in your region, yet some of you were defending him and trying to paint his alleged looting spree as an attack on the North.
May God punish you all.

JUST IN: Femi Gbajabiamila reportedly forged a law, used it to collect ₦54bilion from the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC), claiming it was an order from Pres. Tinubu. Bayo Onanuga backs him.
He allegedly demanded 4% of NUPRC’s revenue, to be split into two. 2.5% and 1.5%, the latter will be for “upgrading of crude oil and gas metering and transparency systems” — this doesn’t exist in this context. It was his way of illegally collecting the money to himself.
Gbaja assumed office as Chief of Staff in June 2023. The incident occurred in July 2023, just weeks after Bola Ahmed Tinubu was sworn in.
Bayo Onanuga insists the money was not illegal and that it was released under a lawful order from the President. Which is concerning, because the President does not have the legal authority to issue such orders.
Apparently, the Presidential Chief of Staff also reached out to FIRS, NIMASA and Nigerian Customs with similar tactics.

You may criticize or even insult him as a Northerner because of insecurity. but it is difficult to ignore the fact that, in some respects, Tinubu has done more for the North than Buhari did during his time in office. Political opinions may differ, but assessments should be based on actions and measurable outcomes rather than sentiment alone.
Your husband never respected these rights as governor.
He violated mine for 162 days without trial. He is lucky that he even goes to court, some of us were abducted and kept without any form of trial until he was satisfied to let us free.
While I am against any form of persecution regardless of who it is being done to, I thought I should remind you ma'am that your husband was a dictator who never obeyed court orders that went against him and his ego.
Femi Falana stated that Ali Modu Sheriff, the former governor of Borno State, founded Boko Haram. He was arrested in Cameroon over his links to the group, but the Nigerian government stepped in and negotiated his release. Falana challenged Sheriff to sue him if the claims are untrue.

Mele Kyari was the GCEO of NNPC for six years. Throughout those six years, he repeatedly promised Nigerians that the country’s refineries would be revived. Yet, after spending billions of dollars, he left office without fulfilling that promise.
What he managed to do was fool Nigerians with short video clips and claims that the refineries were back in operation.
In reality, imported refined products were being blended and presented as evidence of refinery revival.
A few weeks later, production stopped, and since then, Nigerians have heard virtually nothing about the refineries.
Once again, I agree with Senator Adams Oshiomole
People like Sheikh Pantami of the early 2000s is the main reason why I want preaching regulated, clearly then he was not fit to be preaching about certain things then.
His actions now clearly shows that he lacked maturity and understanding of a lot of things then, and clearly he knows better now.
We still have people like that today, who are confusing the populace, preaching things they don’t even understand.

Governor Umaru Mohammed Bago was a friend of my late father, Alhaji Tijjani Usman Bulldozer (APC Party Chairman of Suleja LGA).
Even after my father passed away, I continued to stay in touch with him regularly. Every Friday, I would greet him because he was a cheerful person with a great sense of humor. I really enjoyed talking with him.
Even after he won his primary elections, we still spoke often. I called to congratulate him. At one point, I told him I was interested in getting a job with the Nigeria Customs Service, and he asked me to send him my slip, saying Insha Allah he would try to help. But around that time, he became busy with the governorship campaign, so I had to let the matter go.
After he became governor, we spoke one last time. He told me that from then on I should text him instead — you know, being a governor is no small responsibility.
Later, after he became governor, destiny made us meet again in Bida. It happened because his security team and I were staying at the same hotel. My colleagues and I had traveled from Lagos for work on behalf of our company.
We met the governor, and he recognized me. He welcomed me warmly, introduced me to some people, and was genuinely happy to see me. I was very happy too.
Then he called the guy whose picture I circled — his name is “Kolo.” He told him to collect my phone number and said that whenever I wanted to see him, I should contact Kolo. He also instructed them to give me some money, and afterward I returned to Lagos.
After I completed my NYSC, I messaged Kolo, but he claimed he didn’t know me. I sent him this picture, and he admitted it was indeed him, but he still acted like he didn’t recognize me. I tried everything I could, but he refused to help me make any connection. Eventually, I just left the matter alone and said to myself that if it is destined, Allah will create another opportunity for us to meet again.
What still confuses me is why he refused to connect me with the governor.
The only thing I would have asked for was a job. But he completely refused.
Still, I believe that if it is meant to be, one day I will meet the governor again — whether he likes it or not.

The Katsina State government are planning on arresting Rukayyah jibia a News central reporter for exposing the truth about banditry in Katsina State.
Her arrest is imminent!
EFCC came to our house this morning and assaulted us while carrying out their job, and when they realized that my husband and I are lawyers, they started pleading. 😪😪
“Owner of Moniepoint’s statement is biased. There’s a major problem with employers in the Nigerian system, they don’t want to pay well, yet they expect highly skilled workers. I have over 15 years of work experience, and I can confidently say Nigerian employers are not impressive. The first time I got a job, I only had my secondary school certificate, yet I worked alongside BSc holders — and I was the first person hired out of nine applicants. Why? Because the boss had an international mindset. I came in with little experience, but he made it clear he wasn’t focused on CVs alone — he wanted someone who could deliver. So, when you come out to say Nigerian employees lack skills, the question is: who is doing the hiring? Are you recruiting the right people? You can’t hire content creators or influencers, place them in a corporate role, and expect the same level of delivery as trained professionals.
