A federal high court in Abuja has ordered the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and five other security agencies to file their defence in a suit instituted by Aisha Achimugu, the managing director and chief executive officer (CEO) of Felak Concept Group, seeking to stop her planned arrest and detention.
Other security agencies listed in the fundamental rights enforcement suit are the Nigeria Police Force (NPF), the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), the Department of State Service (DSS), the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), and the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS).
Inyang Ekwo, the presiding judge, gave the order on Friday after Achimugu’s lawyer, Kehinde Ogunwumiju, informed the court that none of the respondents had made an appearance or filed a defence, despite being served an earlier order.
In the suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/626/2025, filed on April 3, Achimugu is “asking for an interim injunction to stop the agencies from arresting or harassing her, invading her property, or infringing on her rights to liberty, privacy, and freedom of movement”.
