The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has issued a wanted notice for a businessman based in Lagos, Olasijibomi Ogundele, citing allegations of money laundering and fund diversion.
On Friday, the EFCC shared this information via its official X account, and the notice was signed by Dele Oyewale, the Head of Media and Publicity. They urged anyone with reliable information regarding Ogundele's location to step up.
The notice stated, “This is to inform the public that Olasijibomi Ogundele, associated with Sujimoto Luxury Construction Limited, is wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission due to alleged fund diversion and money laundering.”
Ogundele, 44, hails from the Ori-Ade Local Government Area in Osun State, with his last known residence listed as G29, Banana Island, Ikoyi, Lagos State.
Individuals who possess helpful information about his current location are encouraged to contact the EFCC at its offices in Ibadan, Uyo, Sokoto, Maiduguri, Benin, Makurdi, Kaduna, Ilorin, Enugu, Kano, Lagos, Gombe, Port Harcourt, or Abuja. They can also reach out via phone at 08093322644, email at info@efcc.gov.ng, or visit the nearest police station.
Ogundele is the founder and CEO of Sujimoto Luxury Construction and is recognized for upscale real estate projects primarily in the Ikoyi and Banana Island areas of Lagos.
His company is well-known within Nigeria’s luxury real estate market, with developments worth billions of naira.
While the EFCC has yet to specify the amount of money allegedly misappropriated, this declaration indicates that Ogundele is being investigated for major financial offenses.
Moreover, the wanted notice emphasizes the Commission's growing interest in targeting high-profile figures in the private sector suspected of laundering illegal funds via luxury investments and real estate.
Historically, the EFCC has committed to combating money laundering and holding accountable anyone implicated in such activities, regardless of their affiliation—be it in politics, civil service, or a thriving property market where anti-corruption agencies frequently identify significant avenues for hiding corrupt gains.
