Sujimoto CEO blames inflation for uncompleted contract with Enugu Govt resulting in EFCC declaring him wanted
Dr Sijibomi Ogundele, popular businessman known as Sujimoto, has declared that he is not a thief or a fugitive.
Sujimoto vowed to visit the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to clear his name over a contract arrangement with the Enugu State government that went “sour.”
EFCC had declared the prominent real estate firm belonging to him wanted for money laundering and diversion of funds.
However, Sujimoto explained that the fallout with Enugu State government was due to hike in the prices of construction materials.
In a video, the businessman who broke down in tears said: “I’m not a thief, I’m not a fugitive. This is a contract between my company and Enugu State Government.
“Enugu State Government asked me to help them build a couple of things which was very interesting. I was going to the state every week.In the middle of the project, the governor said he wanted to build a city and he wanted to build the tallest building in Nigeria…I was in agreement with the government after they took us to court. Now they declared me wanted, they destroyed my company that I built… I am going to the EFCC office, to clear my name, In the last five years prices have gone crazy, something I could have done in two years was delayed..”
