The notice stated, “The public is hereby informed that Olasijibomi Ogundele of Sujimoto Luxury Construction Limited, whose image is displayed above, is wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in relation to an alleged case of fund diversion and money laundering.
“Ogundele, a 44-year-old native of Ori-Ade Local Government Area in Osun State, has his last known residence at G29, Banana Island, Ikoyi, Lagos State.
“Anyone with pertinent information regarding his location is requested to reach out to the Commission at its offices in Ibadan, Uyo, Sokoto, Maiduguri, Benin, Makurdi, Kaduna, Ilorin, Enugu, Kano, Lagos, Gombe, Port Harcourt, or Abuja, or by calling 08093322644; via email at info@efcc.gov. ng, or at the nearest Police Station and other security agencies. ”
Ogundele, the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Sujimoto Luxury Construction, is recognized for his upscale real estate developments in Lagos, particularly in Ikoyi and Banana Island.
The firm has achieved significant recognition in Nigeria’s luxury property sector, with projects valued in the billions of naira.
While the EFCC has not disclosed the exact sum allegedly misappropriated, the announcement indicates that Ogundele is under scrutiny for serious financial offenses.
The wanted notice also underscores the Commission’s growing emphasis on prominent individuals in the private sector suspected of laundering illicit funds through real estate and luxury investments.
The EFCC has previously committed to combating money laundering and holding accountable those believed to be involved, whether they are politicians, public servants, private sector actors, or participants in Nigeria’s flourishing property market, which anti-corruption agencies have consistently identified as a primary avenue for concealing the proceeds of corruption.
