Sujimoto Chief Breaks Silence, Heads To EFCC

Lagos-based property mogul Sijibomi Ogundele, CEO of Sujimoto, has vowed to go to the EFCC to clear his name after being declared wanted by the anti-graft agency.

In a tearful video shared online, Ogundele described the ordeal as “a deal gone bad,” insisting he is neither a thief nor a fugitive.

“This is a contract between my company and Enugu State Government,” he said. “They asked me to help build some projects, and I was visiting the state every week. Then, in the middle of the project, the governor said he wanted to build a city — and the tallest building in Nigeria. I agreed, but after the government took us to court, now they’ve declared me wanted and destroyed the company I built.”

Ogundele also lamented the financial toll of delays. “In the last five years, prices have gone crazy. What I could have done in two years was delayed. I’m going to the EFCC office to clear my name,” he added.

The video has sparked intense discussion online, with many sympathising with the businessman while others await the EFCC’s response.
