Nigerian businesswoman Aisha Achimugu has denied claims that $13 million was found in her home during a raid by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
She said officials only found $50,000 and ₦13 million. According to her, the money belongs to her mother, along with some of her personal items.
Achimugu explained that she keeps foreign currency at home for family needs. She noted that her children study abroad and may require urgent financial support.
“It is important to keep such currencies at home for emergencies,” she said.
The allegations surfaced amid increased scrutiny of high-profile financial activities. The EFCC has not released an official report on the raid.
