The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has declared Olasijibomi Ogundele, founder and Chief Executive Officer of Sujimoto Luxury Construction, wanted over alleged diversion of funds and money laundering.
In a wanted notice signed by its Head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale, and posted on its official X handle on Friday, the EFCC urged anyone with credible information on Ogundele’s whereabouts to come forward.
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, widely known for developing luxury real estate projects in Ikoyi and Banana Island, has built a reputation in Nigeria’s high-end property market with projects valued in billions of naira.
Although the EFCC did not reveal the specific sums allegedly diverted, the wanted declaration points to an ongoing investigation into financial crimes involving real estate and luxury investments.
The anti-graft agency has previously reiterated its commitment to tackling money laundering and prosecuting individuals suspected of using Nigeria’s booming property sector to conceal illicit wealth — whether in politics, the civil service, or private enterprise.
