EFCC Declares Sujimoto CEO Olasijibomi Ogundele Wanted for Alleged Fraud and Money Laundering in Nigeria

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has issued a public notice declaring Olasijibomi Suji Ogundele, founder of Sujimoto Luxury Construction Limited, as wanted in connection with allegations of fund diversion and money laundering. This announcement was released by the EFCC’s Head of Media, Dele Oyewale, on the agency’s official X account.

Ogundele, a 44-year-old native of Ori-Ade Local Government Area in Osun State, was last reportedly residing at G29, Banana Island, Ikoyi, Lagos State. The EFCC has called on members of the public with credible information about his whereabouts to contact any of its offices nationwide, including locations in Lagos, Abuja, Kaduna, Enugu, Kano, and others, or reach the commission via email at info@efcc.gov.ng or phone at 08093322644.

This development follows ongoing investigations by the EFCC’s Lagos Command into alleged financial misconduct. Reports indicate that in October 2024, Ogundele faced scrutiny over a $325,000 real estate transaction linked to the Leonardo project in Banana Island, where a client claimed not to have received the purchased property nor a refund.

Initially, Ogundele filed a fundamental rights suit to prevent the police investigation but later complied with summons from the FCID in Abuja, providing relevant documents, including project approvals and property titles, which he said demonstrated transparency and his intent to fulfill contractual obligations despite economic challenges such as inflation and rising construction costs.

The EFCC emphasized its commitment to apprehending Ogundele and ensuring accountability, highlighting the critical role of public cooperation in addressing financial crimes and safeguarding investors.
