The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has issued a wanted notice for Olasijibomi Ogundele, the Chief Executive Officer of Sujimoto Luxury Construction Limited, over allegations of money laundering and diversion of funds.
The announcement, signed by EFCC’s Head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale, was shared on the agency’s official X account on Friday, urging the public to assist with information on Ogundele’s whereabouts.
According to the notice: “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.
“Ogundele is a 44-year-old indigene of Ori-Ade Local Government Area of Osun State. His last known address is: 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: info@efcc.gov.ng, or the nearest Police Station and other security agencies.”
Ogundele, 44, is well known in Nigeria’s luxury real estate sector. Through Sujimoto, he has spearheaded several high-profile developments in Lagos, particularly in Ikoyi and Banana Island, with projects valued in billions of naira.
Although the EFCC did not specify the sums allegedly diverted, the wanted declaration places the real estate developer under investigation for significant financial offences.
