Efcc: Reported N500 million Fraud:

A Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos, presided over by Justice Musa Kakaki, dismissed an application on September 15, 2025, from businesswoman Aminah Momoh-Orimoloye, who sought her release from the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Momoh-Orimoloye, a UK citizen and coordinator of the Economic Empowerment of Women and Youth in Livestock Agriculture (EEWYLA), was arrested on August 5, 2025, following a petition that accused her of conspiracy and fund diversion. Investigations indicated that Salihu Mohammed allegedly received ₦1.663 billion for a foreign exchange transaction, with ₦1.163 billion being accounted for. Further inquiries revealed that Momoh-Orimoloye, along with Mohammed, Auwal Ali, and others who remain unidentified, allegedly conspired to misappropriate the remaining ₦500 million.
