The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has brought Aisha Achimugu before a federal high court in Abuja.
The managing director and chief executive officer (CEO) of Felak Concept Group was arrested at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja at about 5 am on Tuesday after arriving in Nigeria from London.
The anti-graft agency had declared the socialite wanted for alleged money laundering on March 28.
On Monday, the federal high court in Abuja ordered Achimugu to appear before the EFCC on Tuesday in connection with an alleged money laundering case.

Inyang Ekwo, the presiding judge, also directed the EFCC to present Achimugu before the court on Wednesday.
The judge gave the order following a suit filed by Achimugu, seeking an interim injunction to prevent security agencies from arresting or harassing her.
During the court proceedings, Kehinde Ogunwumiju, counsel to Achimugu, told the court that his client had expressed a willingness to honour the EFCC invitation on April 29 once she returns to the country.
