WARRI The media aide for Dr. Aisha Achimugu, Mr. David Abakpa, asserts that his boss—who holds the position of Group Managing Director and CEO at FELAK Concept Group—is not currently being investigated by the EFCC (Economic and Financial Crimes Commission).
On Friday, in a press release from Abuja, Abakpa refuted the claims of detention as baseless and deceptive, maintaining that Dr. Achimugu does not have any problems with the anticorruption bureau.
He additionally urged those spreading the rumors to present solid proof of any probe or arrest warrant concerning her.
Abakpa states that the EFCC is a professional organization that refrains from acting on social media speculation until after it has completed its investigations.
He condemned what he referred to as a "media initiative backed by sponsors" intended to damage Dr. Achimugu’s character, stating that these allegations have no basis.
“It is unfortunate that certain unverified online platforms are being used to spread falsehoods against a patriotic Nigerian and global icon, Dr. Aisha Achimugu, who has been earning international recognition for Nigeria,” the statement read.
He also highlighted that the EFCC typically refrains from revealing details about impending arrests ahead of time, which makes it questionable that unnamed sources supposedly connected to the agency would share this kind of information with an online news platform.
Abakpa also noted that no one under an EFCC watchlist could leave the country without being intercepted at the airport, rendering the claim that Dr. Achimugu fled to evade arrest baseless.
"The media campaign against her is baseless and has already fallen apart. Truth will always triumph over falsehood. The individuals behind this fabricated information do not have the capability to damage the reputation of a distinguished business owner," he further stated.
Abakpa pointed out her nationwide acknowledgment, stating that Dr. Achimugu’s Officer of the Order of the Federal Republic award underscores her significant impact on Nigeria’s economy via lawful entrepreneurial activities.
"Dr. Aisha Achimugu is an industrious entrepreneur who frequently jets around the world for professional commitments. The assertion that she departed the nation to avoid apprehension is absurd," he stated conclusively.
