Weeks ago, one David Abakpa, who identified himself as Achimugu’s aide, launched a media campaign to confuse the public about the EFCC probe of the socialite. Abakpa in a statement confirmed that Achimugu left Nigeria but blamed unscrupulous elements for reports revealing the businesswoman’s ongoing probe by the EFCC.

That false narrative is still being pushed across legacy and social media by associates of Achimugu even as the EFCC investigation of the allegations against her continues.

Achimugu, the influential Chairman of Felak Concept Group, a firm that is into civil, structural and transportation engineering has long been a key player in Nigeria’s business and political landscape.
She spearheaded the ambitious Deep-Sea Port project in South-South Nigeria, a feat hailed as a historic achievement for a female entrepreneur.
In the last two years, Achimugu has bagged series of awards with the latest being the award of Entrepreneur of the Year at the Sun Newspapers Awards ceremony.
