Olasijibomi Suji Ogundele, founder of Sujimoto Luxury Construction Limited has been declared wanted the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for alleged fraud.
In a notice shared on its social media platforms, the EFCC said Olasijibomi Ogundele, 44, is wanted in connection with an alleged case of diversion of funds and money laundering.
According to the EFCC, Ogundele hails from Ori-Ade Local Government Area of Osun State, with his last known address listed as G 29, Banana Island, Ikoyi, Lagos State.
The anti-graft agency urged members of the public with useful information about his whereabouts to reach out to its offices nationwide.
“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] or the nearest Police Station and other security agencies,” EFCC said.
It would be recalled that operatives of the Force Criminal Investigations Department (FCID) of the Nigerian Police in Abuja on October 14, 2025, arrested Ogundele, over an alleged fraud involving $325,000 received from a client.
According to The Witness findings, the FCID began investigating how Mr. Ogundele’s real estate company, Sujimoto Construction Limited, collected $325,000 from a client in November 2020 for a property deal but neither delivered on the project nor refunded the money.
The probe followed a petition submitted to the Deputy Inspector-General of Police in charge of criminal investigations by lawyer Pelumi Olajengbesi of Law Corridor. A copy of the petition was obtained by this newspaper on Thursday.
Our correspondent learned that Olasijibomi Suji Ogundele was detained after Olajengbesi, a human rights lawyer, accused him of obtaining $325,000 on November 5, 2020, from one Kabiru Ibrahim under false pretence.
The petition stated that the payment represented 50 percent of the agreed $650,000 for one unit of a three-bedroom flat at Leonardo by Sujimoto Home, an estate promoted by Sujimoto Construction Limited.
