US EditionEFCC Declares Sujimoto Wanted for Money Laundering
Olasijibomi Ogundele is wanted by the EFCC for alleged diversion of funds and money laundering involving client payments for undelivered luxury properties, part of a crackdown on real estate sector crimes.
- On Friday, September 5, 2025, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission declared Olasijibomi Ogundele wanted for alleged diversion of funds and money laundering in a notice signed by Dele Oyewale and posted on its official X account.
- The case traces back to November 5, 2020, when Pelumi Olajengbesi petitioned that Ogundele took $325,000 from Kabiru Ibrahim as a half deposit for a non-existent LeonardoBySujimoto apartment, leading to his October 2024 detention by the FCID in Abuja.
- Investigative reporting in March 2024 found an investor who placed N90 million with Sujimoto saw their stake grow to N120 million by July 2024, but Sujimoto paid only N30 million.
- The EFCC appealed to the public to help locate Ogundele, providing regional offices, phone 08093322644, and info@efcc.gov.ng for tips, stressing the probe targets real‑estate sector money laundering.
- Ogundele responded by denying fraud, blaming delays on a failed Enugu State Government contract and an accident, but the EFCC declaration now shadows Sujimoto Luxury Construction Limited's reputation in Banana Island and Ikoyi, Lagos.
