The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) brought businesswoman Aisha Achimugu to the Federal High Court in Abuja on Wednesday. This followed a court order from Justice Inyang Ekwo earlier in the week.
Achimugu arrived at the court around 11:35am, escorted by two female EFCC officers.
On Monday, the judge had ordered Achimugu to show up at the EFCC office by 12 noon on Tuesday. This was because she was accused of running away from the country.
Justice Ekwo also instructed the EFCC to bring her back to court the next day (Wednesday) to give a full report.
Reports say Achimugu was arrested by EFCC officers around 5am when she arrived in Nigeria. She has been held in custody since then. While in detention, she reportedly began a hunger strike.
