5 September 2025, Abuja – Na wetin we sabi be say di Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) don turn di heat up on top one big man wey dey run Sujimoto Construction Limited, Olasijibomi Ogundele. Dem don declare am wanted for matter wey make dem raise eyebrow over di weekend. Na for social media di EFCC come drop di bombshell, say di padi no fit run anywhere.
According to di EFCC, dem dey accuse Ogundele of funds diversion and money laundering. No be small wahala o! Dele Oyewale, di mouthpiece for di EFCC, make am clear say Ogundele dey wanted because of di alleged crime wey fit carry am go inside prison. E come give di public description say e be 44 years old from Osun State and di last place wey him dey reside na G 29, Banana Island, Ikoyi, Lagos. So if you sabi where e dey, make you holla EFCC sharp sharp.
As di gist dey go, Ogundele no dey take dis matter lightly. For one video wey show him dey talk, e dey shed tears say, “I no be tiff, I no dey run! I dey ready to clear my name for di EFCC office”. E claim say all dis wahala dey come from di business contract wey him company get with one state government for di Southeastern Nigeria. Wetin really dey disturb him na how di project wey suppose bring glory come turn to gbo gbo argument.
Olasijibomi no small paddy, him dey popular for di high-end property market for Lagos wey dey eya for Ikoyi and Banana Island. Na im company dey build fine fine real estate wey fit make even Elon Musk dey blush. During him talk, e mention say di state government gree make he build schools and even create one tall building wey go be di tallest for Nigeria. But as dem dey throw more project for top am, di price of materials come dey rise like yeast, and di money no dey match di reality. E don talk say na di state government carry am give wahala as dem no follow through on di support wey dem promise.
But na because of one lawyer wey dey call Pelumi Olajengbesi wey don send petition go di police say Ogundele don collect $325,000 under false pretense for one real estate deal back for 2020. Dem say him no deliver di project, and na dat one bring all dis kain kasala. Wetin we sabi be say Ogundele no gree take di blame, him dey point finger on di falling naira and economic downturn wey don make everybody dey chop sand. “We dey find way to settle dis matter; not be every time person dey japa,” na wetin him talk.
Di anti-corruption crusaders don dey keep tabs on him movement, so Ogundele better run am straight to EFCC if e wan settle dis gobe once and for all. Him vision for di African luxury real estate industry na to change di game, but dis latest wahala fit scatter di plans wey him don put down since e start di Sujimoto brand back for 2013. E don do plenty deals wey worth more than N45 billion since im enter di industry, and e dey somehow maintain some level of swag even amidst di gobe.
For now, we go dey monitor di updates as e dey develop, make we see wetin go happen next for dis high-profile matter. Wetin you go do if dem check you like dis? Na real matter oh!
