EFCC Declares Real Estate Mogul Sujimoto Wanted Over Alleged $325,000 Fraud
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has declared popular Nigerian real estate developer, Sijibomi Ogundele, widely known as Sujimoto, wanted for alleged money laundering and diversion of funds.
According to the anti-graft agency, the charges stem from a controversial deal with the Enugu State Government, which allegedly involved the mismanagement of $325,000. The EFCC announced the development yesterday, sparking widespread reactions across social media.
Sujimoto, who has gained prominence for his luxury developments, flamboyant lifestyle, and inspiring rags-to-riches story, has built a reputation as one of Nigeria’s most influential entrepreneurs in the real estate sector.
The recent development, however, marks a major turn in his career. Videos circulating online show the businessman in an emotional state while addressing the allegations, a rare departure from his usual confident public image.
The case has divided public opinion, with some questioning the authenticity of his emotional response and others viewing it as the breaking point of a man facing serious legal and reputational challenges.
The EFCC has urged anyone with useful information about his whereabouts to come forward as investigations continue.
