Sujimoto CEO Accused of ₦5.7bn Fraud in Enugu
The Enugu State Government says Sujimoto boss, Olasijibomi Ogundele, defrauded the state of nearly ₦6bn meant for the construction of 22 Smart Green Schools.
According to the Commissioner for Information, Dr. Malachy Agbo, Sujimoto was paid 50% of the ₦11.4bn contract in July 2024 but abandoned the sites after doing substandard work.
The state alleged he presented a Jaiz Bank bond but diverted the funds into a Zenith Bank account—proof of a “premeditated fraud.”
EFCC inspections in May 2025 showed most sites were left at foundation/DPC level. The government has since revoked the contract, reassigned the schools, and vowed to recover every kobo.
