The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has declared prominent real estate developer Sujimoto Ogundele, popularly known as Sujimoto, wanted over allegations of money laundering and diversion of funds.
In a statement issued on Saturday, the anti-graft agency said the socialite businessman is being investigated for financial crimes involving “the laundering of illicit funds and the diversion of resources running into billions of naira.”
The EFCC urged members of the public with useful information about Sujimoto’s whereabouts to contact its offices nationwide or report through official hotlines and email channels.
Sujimoto, known for his luxury property developments in Lagos and Abuja, has long been a controversial figure in Nigeria’s high society, where his flamboyant lifestyle has drawn both admiration and criticism.
As of press time, neither Sujimoto nor his representatives had responded to the EFCC’s declaration.
This development marks the latest in a string of high-profile investigations by the EFCC targeting Nigeria’s real estate and financial sectors.
