The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has declared Olasijibomi Ogundele, a Lagos-based businessman, wanted over alleged “diversion of funds and money laundering”.
Ogundele is the chief executive officer (CEO) of Sujimoto Luxury Construction Limited. The company deals in real estate.
The anti-graft agency declared Ogundele wanted in a notice published on Friday and signed by Dele Oyewale, EFCC spokesperson.
“Ogundele is a 44-year-old indigene of Ori-Ade Local Government of Osun State and his last known address is: G 29, Banana Island, Ikoyi, Lagos State,” the statement reads.

“Anybody with useful information as to his whereabouts should please contact the Commission in its offices.”
It would not be Ogundele’s first brush with law enforcement in recent times. In October 2024, he was detained at the force criminal investigation department in Abuja over alleged fraud.
The police had received a petition written by Pelumi Olajengbesi, a human rights lawyer, accusing Ogundele of obtaining the sum of $325,000 from one Kabiru Ibrahim by false pretence in November 2020.

In the petition, Olajengbesi alleged that after Ibrahim handed Ogundele the sum as 50 percent payment for a three-bedroom flat in an estate, it was later discovered that Ogundele’s company did not have such a housing project ongoing.
Ogundele was later released by the police.
