Businesswoman and sociallite Aisha Achimugu has dismissed claims that $13 million was recovered from her residence, insisting that only $50,000 and N13 million were found during a raid on her home.

Achimugu made the clarification on Monday while speaking on Politics Today, a programme on Channels Television.

She said the widely circulated figure of $13 million was inaccurate and misleading.

Recall that the EFCC had last year declared Achimugu wanted.

According to the EFCC, Achimugu was wanted by the agency in an alleged case of criminal conspiracy and money laundering.

The EFCC had also reportedly carried out a search operation at her residence as part of its probe, with conflicting reports emerging afterward regarding the amount of money recovered.

The businesswoman also declined to provide further details on the alleged $13 million, noting that the matter is already before the court.

Achimugu also questioned the origin of the $13 million claim, stating that she is not in the habit of keeping such large sums of money at home.

She said: “First, I won’t go so much into the detail of $13 million. As you know, it’s a matter in court. It will be prejudice for me to talk about, you know, what’s already in court.

And I still believe strongly in our judicial system in Nigeria. So I know that the right decisions will be made at the due time.

“But let me also correct an impression that $13 million was not found in my house when my house was raided.

“My house was raided, yes, but only $50,000 and N13 million naira belonging to my mom was found in my house, and then again, my personal belonging.

“I don’t know where Nigerians got the impression that I had $13 million in my house. I’m not a bank, so I won’t keep $13 million in my house. I have kids who go to school abroad, so it’s important that you have those currencies kept away for emergencies.”
