HOW SUJIMOTO CEO, OGUNDELE, DEFRAUDED ENUGU STATE GOVERNMENT OF N5.7BN - OFFICIAL

The Enugu State Government has accused Olasijibomi Ogundele, CEO of Sujimoto Luxury Construction Limited, of defrauding the state of N5.7 billion meant for the construction of 22 Smart Green Schools. According to the government, Ogundele vanished into thin air after receiving 50% of the contract sum, abandoning the projects and leaving the state with no choice but to petition the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to recover the funds.

Allegations of Premeditated Fraud:

The government alleges that Ogundele committed premeditated fraud by presenting a bond from Jaiz Bank to secure the contract while using Sujimoto Luxury Construction Limited's Zenith Bank account to receive payments, making it impossible for the state to hold Jaiz Bank liable. A joint team from the Enugu State Ministry of Works and Infrastructure and the EFCC inspected the sites on May 8 and 9, 2025, and found minimal to no significant work done.

Ogundele's Response:

In a viral video, Ogundele denied allegations of money laundering and fund diversion, claiming he was not a thief or fugitive. He attributed the project's challenges to economic instability, rising construction costs, and security threats at some sites. However, the Enugu State Government dismissed his defense as "theatrics and crocodile tears" 

Government's Next Steps.

The Enugu State Government has reassigned the projects to new contractors to ensure completion before the September 2025 school resumption. The government vowed to recover every penny paid to Sujimoto, emphasizing its determination to migrate Enugu children to Smart Green Schools.
