A Nigerian businesswoman who made national headlines last year for hosting a seven-day birthday party at the exclusive Calivigny Island  where rates reportedly reach $132,000 per night  is now under investigation for fraud.


According to court filings obtained by The Africa Report, Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) alleges that Aisha Achimugu funneled $25.3 million of unexplained funds through bureau-de-change operators. The money was allegedly used to purchase two offshore petroleum blocks  PPL 3007 and PPL 302-DO  and to bribe officials at the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC).
