Aisha Achimugu: Bank MD, compliance chief linked to alleged $12m laundering

Published

on

The first prosecution witness (PW1) in the trial of SunTrust Bank Managing Director, Halima Buba, and Chief Compliance Officer, Innocent Mbagwu, on Thursday, July 17, 2025, detailed before Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court, Abuja, how multi-million-dollar cash transactions were routed through him for transfers.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is prosecuting both bank executives on a six-count charge bordering on money laundering to the tune of $12 million.

Led in evidence by prosecuting counsel, Ekele Iheanacho, SAN, the witness, a bureau de change operator, described multiple foreign exchange transactions involving the first defendant, Aisha Achimugu, and himself.

“Sometime in March 2025, I received a call from Aisha Achimugu that she had some forex transactions at SunTrust Bank branches in Abuja and Lagos. I called the first defendant, and she confirmed her knowledge of the transactions,” he testified.

On March 13, 2025, the witness said a staff of Achimugu, Iliya, visited SunTrust Bank Abuja for a $1 million cash swap, to be paid into Ocean Gate Energy Oil and Gas’ Zenith Bank account. The witness confirmed the transaction with the first defendant before arranging for the collection of the cash through intermediaries.

The witness further narrated, “Aisha told me she needed dollar inflows into her Ocean Gate Energy account to purchase an oil block. I got to know her in 2021 through the first defendant, and we met at SunTrust Bank.”

He added that the first defendant communicated transaction confirmations through WhatsApp, including screenshots of chats with the second defendant when he initially denied knowledge of the transactions.

According to the witness, “On March 13, 2025, Muktar Miko received a $2 million cash payment from the second defendant. Another $2 million was received on March 14, while on March 20, an additional $2 million was collected for cash swap transactions, all confirmed with the first defendant.”

On March 24, 2025, another $2 million was collected, with subsequent dollar inflows transferred in tranches into Ocean Gate Energy Oil and Gas’ Zenith Bank account after the swaps were completed.

The witness also testified that aside from the oil block purchase, Aisha Achimugu conducted further Naira-to-dollar exchange transactions, which he regularly confirmed with the first defendant, with Naira credited to local accounts and dollar equivalents transferred to Ocean Gate Energy.

The matter continues as the EFCC seeks to establish its case in the ongoing multi-million-dollar money laundering trial.

My Encounter With Aboki Selling Dollars that May Help You

Published

on

Sometime last month…

 

I withdrew $500 because I needed to pay for something that day and was in a rush.

Because of how urgent it was, I couldn’t use my regular aboki, had to look for one around the bank I used.

 

After plenty back and forth, we agreed on 1600 as the rate.

 

Forgetting that this wasn’t the aboki I already had a relationship with, I handed him the dollars while he was still collecting my account details.

 

Not even a few minutes later, the aboki looked up and said, “Ah! Na $500? I think say na $5000.”

 

$5k how?

 

Next thing, he said he wasn’t buying again unless I’d agree to sell for 1570.

 

Knowing I wouldn’t meet up with where I needed the money that day again,

 

I decided to just kuku take my money back (big mistake), go to my usual aboki whose place was far from where I was, and then handle what I needed the money for the next day.

 

When I got there, my regular aboki, who I’d already spoken to on the phone, saw me and immediately transferred 800k to me in exchange for the $500.

 

I got the alert, handed him the dollars, only for him to shout… that the money was fake.

 

What happened?

 

The first aboki had switched the bills.

 

Why didn’t I go back to the first aboki?

 

Even if the distance isn’t far, will he ever accept that he was the one who switched the money?

 

I just accepted my loss and picked my lesson, which is…

 

Never hand over your dollars to an aboki until you’ve received the alert.

 

Please learn from my mistake.
