EFCC declares Sujimoto boss wanted for alleged diversion of funds

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has declared Olasijibomi Ogundele, Chief Executive Officer of Sujimoto Luxury Construction, wanted over allegations of money laundering and diversion of funds.

The anti-graft agency made the announcement in a wanted notice signed by its Head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale, and published on its official X handle on Friday.

The notice stated: “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.
