The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has declared Olasijibomi Suji Ogundele, Chief Executive Officer of Sujimoto Luxury Construction Limited, wanted in connection with the alleged diversion of funds and money laundering.
In a statement signed by the Commission’s Head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale, the EFCC said Ogundele, 44, is a native of Ori-Ade Local Government Area of Osun State. His last known address is listed as G29, Banana Island, Ikoyi, Lagos State.
According to the Commission, efforts to trace the real estate developer have so far been unsuccessful, prompting the public declaration.
“Anybody with useful information as to his whereabouts should please contact the Commission in its Ibadan, Uyo, Sokoto, Maiduguri, Benin, Makurdi, Kaduna, Ilorin, Enugu, Kano, Lagos, Gombe, Port Harcourt or Abuja offices, or report to the nearest Police Station and other security agencies,” the notice read.
Members of the public can also reach the EFCC through its hotline (08093322644) or via email at info@efcc.gov.ng.
Ogundele, popularly known in the luxury real estate sector as “Sujimoto,” is the founder of Sujimoto Luxury Construction Limited, a firm reputed for high-end property developments in Lagos. His company has in the past been linked to several upscale projects in Banana Island and Ikoyi.
The EFCC did not provide further details on the alleged offences but noted that Ogundele is wanted in relation to an ongoing investigation into financial crimes involving diversion of funds and laundering of illicit proceeds.
This latest development adds to the Commission’s growing list of high-profile cases as it intensifies efforts to clamp down on financial crimes across Nigeria.
The EFCC has urged Nigerians to volunteer credible information that could lead to Ogundele’s arrest, stressing that all reports will be treated with strict confidentiality.
