Despite her compliance with the court order to present herself to the EFCC, her arrest prompted the fresh judicial intervention.

A Federal High Court in Abuja has given the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) a 24-hour ultimatum to release Aisha Achimugu, a businesswoman based in Abuja, who is under investigation in connection with a $150 million fraud case.

Presiding over the matter, Justice Inyang Ekwo issued the directive on Tuesday, warning that all parties involved must appear before the court on Friday, May 2, to review compliance with the order and assess further developments.

The ruling follows a prior directive requiring Achimugu to honour an EFCC invitation on April 29.

She was arrested by the commission upon her arrival from London at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport on the same day.
