EFCC declares Sujimoto wanted for money laundering
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has declared renowned engineer, Olasijibomi Suji Ogundele popularly known as Sujimoto wanted.
Ogundele is the owner of Sujimoto Luxury Construction Limited, a company known for building luxury and state of the art buildings.
However, EFCC’s spokesman, Dele Oyewale said Sojimoto is declared wanted for money laundering and diversion of funds.
A notification tagged “Wanted,” reads: “Olasijibomi Suji Ogundele, The public is hereby notified that OLASIJIBOMI SUJI OGUNDELE of Sujimoto Luxury Construction Limited, whose photograph appears above is wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in an alleged case of Diversion of Funds and Money Laundering.
“Ogundele is a 44 year-old indigene of Ori-Ade Local Government of Osun State and his last known address is: G 29, Banana lsland, Ikoyi, Lagos State.
“Anybody with useful information as to his whereabouts should please contact the Commission in its lbadan, Uyo, Sokoto, Maiduguri, Benin, Makurdi, Kaduna, llorin, Enugu, Kano, Lagos, Gombe, Port Harcourt or Abuja offices or through 08093322644; its e-mail address: info@efcc.gov.ng or the nearest Police Station and other security agencies.”
It would not be Ogundele’s first brush with law enforcement in recent times. In October 2024, he was detained at the force criminal investigation department in Abuja over alleged fraud.
The police had received a petition written by Pelumi Olajengbesi, a human rights lawyer, accusing Ogundele of obtaining the sum of $325,000 from one Kabiru Ibrahim by false pretence in November 2020.
In the petition, Olajengbesi alleged that after Ibrahim handed Ogundele the sum as 50 percent payment for a three-bedroom flat in an estate, it was later discovered that Ogundele’s company did not have such a housing project ongoing.
Ogundele was later released by the police.
