Suspension Of Justice Ekwo Stalls Case Against Achimugu
The hearing of the alleged money laundering case against a socialite and business woman, Aisha Achimugu at the Federal High Court Abuja, has been stalled due to the suspension of the trial judge justice Inyang Ekwo by the National Judicial Council.
Justice Ekwo who was suspended for judicial misconduct had on the last adjourned date ordered the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC to release Achimugu.
The judge also added that parties in the suit especially the EFCC are to report to the court to give report on compliance to the order on May 2, 2025.
The EFCC is investigating Achimugu in a case involving conspiracy, obtaining money by false pretence, money laundering, corruption, and possession of properties reasonably suspected to have been unlawfully obtained.
