Justice Musa Kakaki of the Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos, on Monday, September 15, 2025, dismissed an application filed by a businesswoman Aminah Momoh-Orimoloye seeking her release from the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
Momoh-Orimoloye, a United Kingdom citizen and coordinator of the Economic Empowerment of Women and Youth in Livestock Agriculture, EEWYLA, was arrested on August 5, 2025, following a petition alleging conspiracy and diversion of funds.
EFCC said in a press statement that ” Investigations revealed that Salihu Mohammed allegedly received ₦1.663 billion for a foreign exchange transaction, of which only ₦1.163 billion could be accounted for.
“Further investigation, however, revealed that Momoh-Orimoloye, Mohammed, Auwal Ali, and others at large allegedly conspired to divert the balance of ₦500 million.”
