The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has recovered ₦1.27 billion from the CEO, Sujimoto Luxury Construction Limited, Olasijibomi Ogundele, following the alleged diversion of funds and money laundering, totalling ₦5.7 billion and linked to the construction of 22 Smart Green Schools in different parts of Enugu state.
The anti-graft agency formally handed over cheques representing the recovered sum to the Enugu State Government.
In a 27 second video shared by Dan Nwomeh, Senior Special Assistant on Mainstream Media to the Governor of Enugu State, and sighted by PACESETTER, the cheques were received by the Secretary to the State Government, Prof. Chidiebere Onyia, who was also accompanied by the state Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Osinachi Nnajieze.
PACESETTER reports that no official statement has been issued by either the EFCC or Enugu State Government as at press time.
Recall that in September 2025, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission declared Lagos-based businessman, Olasijibomi Ogundele, wanted over alleged diversion of funds and money laundering.
This was also as the Enugu State Government accused the CEO of Sujimoto Luxury Construction Limited, Olasijibomi Ogundele, of defrauding the state of nearly N6bn, noting that Ogundele vanished into thin air after he was paid the said sum for the construction of 22 Smart Green Schools in different parts of the state.
