Olasijibomi Ogundele, the Group Managing Director of Sujimoto Holdings, was recently detained by Nigeria’s Force Criminal Investigations Department (FCID) over an alleged $325,000 fraud. This case dates back to 2020, when Ogundele’s company, Sujimoto Construction Limited, allegedly received the amount from a client, Kabiru Garba Ibrahim, as a partial payment for a luxury property but reportedly failed to deliver the property or issue a refund.
After Ibrahim’s lawyer filed a petition with the police in May 2024, Ogundele was summoned by the FCID but initially did not respond. He eventually cooperated following police intervention. Ogundele was questioned and detained briefly but has since met bail conditions as the investigation proceeds.
