Dr Sijibomi Ogundele, popular businessman known as Sujimoto, has declared that he is not a thief or a fugitive.
Sujimoto vowed to visit the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, to clear his name over a contract arrangement with the Enugu State government that went “sour.”
EFCC had declared the prominent real estate firm belonging to him wanted for money laundering and diversion of funds.
However, Sujimoto explained that the fallout with Enugu State government was due to hike in the prices of construction materials.
In a video, the businessman who broke down in tears said: “I’m not a thief or fugitive, this is a contract between my company and the Enugu State government. Enugu State government asked me to help them build a couple of projects which was very interesting.
“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.”
