Nigerian businessman Dr. Sijibomi Ogundele, popularly known as Sujimoto, has denied allegations of fraud after the EFCC declared his real estate firm wanted for money laundering and diversion of funds.
He said the dispute with the Enugu State government stemmed from rising construction costs, insisting he is “not a thief or fugitive” and vowing to appear before the EFCC to clear his name.
“In the middle of the project I was going to Enugu every week and the governor said he wanted to build the tallest building in Nigeria, 69 storey building, I designed it and he gave it to me.”
