The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has declared the Chief Executive Officer of Sujimoto Luxury Construction Limited, Olasijibomi Ogundele, wanted for alleged diversion of funds and money laundering.
The notice, signed by EFCC’s Head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale, was released on the Commission’s official X handle on Friday.
“The public is hereby notified that Olasijibomi Ogundele of Sujimoto Luxury Construction Limited, whose photograph appears above, is wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in an alleged case of diversion of funds and money laundering,” the statement read.
The Commission described Ogundele as a 44-year-old indigene of Ori-Ade Local Government Area of Osun State. His last known address was listed as G29, Banana Island, Ikoyi, Lagos State.
“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 through 08093322644; its e-mail address: [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]), or the nearest Police Station and other security agencies,” EFCC added.
Ogundele, widely known as the founder of Sujimoto, has built a name in Nigeria’s luxury property market, with high-end real estate projects in Ikoyi and Banana Island worth billions of naira.
Although the EFCC has not revealed the exact amount allegedly involved, the declaration marks another move by the anti-graft agency to go after big names in Nigeria’s real estate sector.
The agency has consistently linked luxury property investments to money laundering, insisting that corrupt funds are often hidden in estates, apartments, and luxury developments.
